When evaluating a client's eligibility for Medicare-reimbursed home care, which is crucial?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homebound status is a requirement and means the person can only leave the home with difficulty and only for medical appointments or adult day care. Medicare requires that the recipient of reimbursable services need skilled services. The services of a homemaker are not considered a skilled service and are not a requirement for receiving services. There are no requirements that the client be associated with the military, either now or in the past. A client must be considered terminally ill to receive hospice services reimbursed by Medicare but not home health care-the person would just require skilled services.
