Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For Medicare to pay, several requirements must be met. These include meeting strict criteria for skilled health care services; care services are those provided by nursing assistants or other licensed health care professionals; the care must follow a hospital stay; and the care must be provided in a nursing facility licensed to provide skilled care. Physical therapy services can be provided in an outpatient center. The requirements must be met; therefore, the family cannot just drop off a home-bound person and expect care to be provided free of charge.
