I need help at home after my surgery. Will Medicare cover a home health aide or am I on my own?

Answered by 4 licensed agents

Yes, under traditional Medicare A & B with a Medigap plan, Medicare will cover some home health services after surgery. Under Medicare Advantage plans, this will require prior approval by the insurance companies that carry the plan.

Yes, Original Medicare does cover home health care. Please contact 1800MEDICARE & speak to a representative. If your on a Medicare Advantage Policy contact your Broker. Thank you.

Plans are insured or covered by a Medicare Advantage (HMO, PPO and PFFS) organization with a Medicare contract and/or a Medicare-approved Part D sponsor. Enrollment in the plan depends on the plan’s contract renewal with Medicare. We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.

Medicare will typically pay for the full cost of these services if a Medicare-certified home health agency provides them.

Medicare part A covers Hospital insurance and Medicare part B covers the medical. Part B does cover eligible home health service as long as you need Part-time or intermittent skilled services and you are “home-bound”.
