Re: [QUAD-L] Dave - Medicare & You 2005

Hi Lori,

 

I'm waiting for my 2005 handbook hard-copy, but I've looked through the on-line version and have only found this.

 

Home Health Care: Limited to reasonable and necessary part-time or intermittent skilled nursing care and home health aide services as well as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language therapy which are ordered by your doctor. Also includes medical social services, durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen, and walkers), medical supplies, and other services.

If I find more I'll let you know.  BTW: I checked and my HHA only gets paid when they make a visit.  MEDICARE only pays the amount they approve and the same for my supplies.

 

With Love,
