Home health is a wide range of health care services that can be provided in the home for an injury or illness.  Often it is implemented following a hospitalization or skilled nursing facility stay. To qualify for home health care, the recipient must be deemed homebound* (leaving home takes considerable and taxing effort, or illness could get worse by leaving home) and a provider must certify that home health services are needed.

Home health services include, but are not limited to, part-time or intermittent skilled nursing and home health aide services; physical, occupational, and speech therapy; medical and social services; and medical equipment and supplies.  Skilled nursing and home health aide services combined must total fewer than 8 hours per day and 35 hours per week to be covered under the home health care benefit.

*Note that since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have relaxed homebound requirements; check with a provider for qualifying criteria.
