Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Teaching a patient to self-administer insulin is a reimbursable action under Medicare payment rules. Medicare covers patient education services, including teaching patients to self-administer medications, as a part of home health care services. Observing and supervising non-skilled activities like cleaning and changing dressings, providing exercise, or watching a patient measure out medications are not reimbursable by Medicare.
