• Nursing
• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Speech-language pathology
• Home health aide services are sometimes covered if deemed necessary along with skilled services

A physician’s referral is always required for home health.

Private Health Insurance

If the person needing care has private health insurance, they should check their coverage for home health care as it varies from plan to plan. Short-term skilled nursing care post-surgery or after an injury not directly related to an auto or workers compensation accident, most private insurance will cover those costs.

Other Sources

If the person needing care requires help and/or rehabilitation because of an auto accident or job-related injury for example, workers compensation, auto insurance, or employer and consumer plans may pay for home health services.
