To qualify for this benefit, care must be ordered by a physician, patients must have the need for skilled nursing care or physical therapy, and patients must be confined to home.
Remember, when patients’ needs are too severe – they are too sick and will more than likely require daily care. Therefore they may be deemed ineligible for intermittent home health care.
