The home health agency caring for you must be approved by Medicare
(Medicare-certified).
You must be Homebound, and a Doctor must certify that you’re Homebound.
To be homebound means the following:
Leaving your home isn’t recommended because of your condition.
Your condition keeps you from leaving home without help (such as using
a wheelchair or walker, needing special transportation, or getting help
from another person).
Leaving home takes a considerable and taxing effort.
A person may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences
for non-medical reasons, such as attending religious services. You can still get
home health care if you attend adult day care, but you would get the home
care services in your home.
