Most home care providers know that Medicare covers home care nursing; home care aide and medical social services; physical, speech, and occupational therapy; as well as medical supplies and durable medical equipment. However, few agencies realize that they can also use dietitians and respiratory therapists to help meet their patients' needs. Also, few agencies use available resources or establish programs to deliver care to special-needs populations. Yet all of these home care services are reimbursable under the Medicare home health benefit.
大多数家庭护理服务提供商都知道,医疗保险涵盖家庭护理护士服务、家庭护理助理及医疗社会服务、物理治疗、言语治疗和职业治疗,以及医疗用品和耐用医疗设备。然而,很少有机构意识到他们还可以利用营养师和呼吸治疗师来帮助满足患者的需求。此外,很少有机构利用现有资源或制定项目为特殊需求人群提供护理服务。然而,所有这些家庭护理服务在医疗保险的家庭健康福利项下都是可报销的。
