    • Intermittent skilled nursing care (other than drawing blood)

To be eligible, either: 1) your condition must be expected to improve in a reasonable and generally predictable period of time, or 2) you need a skilled therapist to safely and effectively make a maintenance program for your condition, or 3) you need a skilled therapist to safely and effectively do maintenance therapy for your condition. The home health agency caring for you is approved by Medicare (Medicare certified).
  • You must be homebound, and a doctor must certify that you're homebound.
    You're not eligible for the home health benefit if you need more than part-time or "intermittent" skilled nursing care.
    You may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, like attending religious services. You can still get home health care if you attend adult day care.
