Is Medicare Paying For Your Hospice And Home Health Care Services?
If you are considering home health or hospice care for you or for a loved one, you may want to find out whether or not you are eligible for your home health or hospice services to be paid for by Medicare. Medicare is a Federal Health Insurance Program for people who are age 65 or older. Medicare also covers people under 65 with certain disabilities or people of any age who have end-stage renal disease. Medicare has two different parts: Medicare Part A – Hospital Insurance and Medicare Part B – Medical Insurance. Hospice and home health care usually fall under Part A.
