Always double check the information you receive from websites, if you are unsure if something is covered by Medicare for home health, call a Medicare certified agency= they should know the rules! Daily visits can be covered, as long as you have a definate end date for these visits. Agencies in Florida created havoc on the Medicare system seeing diabetic patients twice a day- this is a qualifying service to people that are "homebound"- there are rules to that homebound status as well.

Persons with some Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) do not need to have a 3-day hospital stay before Medicare pays for skilled nursing facility care. However, they may be responsible for a co-payment for a number of days. It is important for persons to know this. Maureen, RI
