  • Title: Diversity in delivery: the Medicare home health benefit.
    Author: St Pierre M.
    Journal: Caring; 1996 Dec; 15(12):10-4. PubMed ID: 10162617.
    Abstract:
    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.
