Medicare does not pay for home health care on an hourly basis. Instead, it uses the Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS), which provides a predetermined payment for each 30-day period of care, adjusted based on your condition and care needs. This payment covers all necessary services, including skilled nursing care, therapy, and home health aide services. Therefore, there's no specific hourly rate; the payment is intended to cover the total cost of care during the 30-day period.
It's important to note that while Medicare covers many home health services, it doesn't pay for:
- 24-hour-a-day care at home
- Meals delivered to your home
- Homemaker services like shopping, cleaning, and laundry when this is the only care you need
- Personal care services (like bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom) if this is the only care you need
For more detailed information, you can refer to Medicare's official guidelines on home health services.
