Does Medicare Pay for Parkinson’s Home Care?
Medicare only provides coverage for “medical services” and medical items. Home care services provided by home caregivers are considered “non-medical” services by Medicare. Therefore, they are not a covered benefit of the Medicare program, and not eligible for payment.
After a hospital discharge, it’s not unusual for our clients to have both a home health care or hospice agency provide medical services, and home caregivers providing the “non-medical” essential care and assistance that enables our clients to continue living in the comfort of their home.
- Medicare covers inpatient hospital care, medical professional fees and other medical items for people with Parkinson’s disease who are age 65 or older. Medicare Part D also covers many prescription drugs.
- Medicare will pay for up to 100 days of skilled nursing home care or inpatient rehabilitation under limited circumstances. However, custodial long-term nursing home care is not covered.
- Medicare will pay for hospice care delivered in the home, a nursing facility or an inpatient hospice facility for seniors with Parkinson’s who are determined by a doctor to be near the end of life.
- Medicare will cover the medical services provided by a home health care agency, such as a visiting nurse, physical/occupational therapy, and other medical professionals after a hospitalization.
- Medicare will not cover the cost of non-medical home care (long-term care) in the home, even though the services home caregivers provide may be essential to being able to receive home health care and hospice services.
