Where can I get more information about Medicare coverage for home care?
Medicare Home Care: Page 5
If the person you're caring for is in the hospital and you're looking for answers about follow-up care at home, contact the hospital's discharge planner, who arranges this type of care, or the hospital ombudsman, who's trained in Medicare issues and part of whose job is to help patients and families understand them.
You can also get information about home care coverage directly from Medicare's website or by calling (800) 633-4227. If the person you're caring for has been referred to a particular home care agency, the intake administrator for that service can also help with Medicare-related questions or problems.
If the person you're caring for has a Medicare Part C Medicare Advantage plan, contact the plan directly for information about home care coverage.
