Medicare-Certified Home Health Aide

Skilled personal care at home, covered by Medicare — provided by Certified Nursing Assistants as part of your physician’s plan of care.

When your doctor orders home health care, a Home Health Aide becomes part of your care team. Our aides are Certified Nursing Assistants who assist with daily personal care, support your recovery, and keep your nurse informed of any changes in your condition.

Medicare Coverage

When Medicare covers home health aide services

Medicare covers home health aide visits when your doctor has ordered skilled nursing or therapy care at home and you are homebound. Aide visits are covered in full — no copay, no coinsurance — as long as skilled care is also part of your plan. Coverage is available on a part-time or intermittent basis, typically up to 28 hours per week combined with skilled nursing.

If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan — including UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, or another carrier — your plan covers at least the same home health aide services as Original Medicare. We work directly with Medicare Advantage plans to verify your benefits and manage authorization on your behalf.
