What Medicare Covers at Home

Medicare Part A and/or Part B provides comprehensive coverage for skilled home health services — with $0 copay for qualifying beneficiaries. This is one of Medicare's most underutilized benefits because many patients don't realize how much is covered.

Covered Medicare Services Include:

Skilled Nursing Care (RN or LPN visits)
Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Speech-Language Pathology
Medical Social Work
Home Health Aide Services
Medical Equipment & Supplies (related to plan)
Wound Care
IV Therapy & Infusion
Medication Management
Chronic Disease Management
Sincere Care Is Medicare Certified

As a CMS-certified Medicare home health agency, Sincere Care meets the federal quality and safety standards required to bill Medicare directly. Your coverage applies to every service we provide.

Medicare Eligibility Requirements

1

Homebound Status

You must be homebound — meaning leaving your home requires a considerable effort due to illness, injury, or disability. You don't need to be bedbound; but going out must be taxing.

2

Physician's Order

A doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant must certify that you need skilled care and order home health services. Hospital discharge planners can coordinate this.

3

Skilled Care Need

You must need at least one skilled service: nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy. Home health aide services are covered when skilled care is active.

4

Medicare-Certified Agency

The agency providing care must be Medicare-certified by CMS. Sincere Care is fully certified — ensuring your coverage applies to every service we provide.

Minnesota Medicaid & Waiver Programs

Sincere Care is enrolled with Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid) and participates in several county waiver programs that help eligible individuals receive home-based services as an alternative to facility placement.

CADI Waiver

Community Alternative Care for Disabilities — supports people with significant disabilities in staying at home instead of a nursing facility.

BI Waiver

Brain Injury Waiver — supports individuals with acquired brain injuries in home and community settings.

EW Waiver

Elderly Waiver — helps eligible seniors receive home and community-based services as an alternative to nursing home care.

CAC Waiver

Community Alternative Care — for individuals who need the level of care provided in a nursing facility but choose to remain at home.

Our Coverage Verification Process

We handle insurance verification completely — so you can focus on your loved one's care, not paperwork.

Step 01

You Call or Submit a Request

Contact our intake team by phone or online. We gather basic patient information, insurance plan details, and a description of the care needs.

Step 02

We Verify Your Coverage

Our billing specialists contact your insurance company directly and complete a full benefits verification — confirming exactly what is covered and identifying any out-of-pocket costs before care begins.

Step 03

We Get the Physician's Order

We coordinate with your doctor, discharge planner, or specialist to obtain the required physician order. We handle all paperwork and faxing — you don't need to manage any of it.

Step 04

Care Begins

Once the order is in place and coverage is confirmed, your RN conducts an in-home assessment and care begins — typically within 24–48 hours of your initial call.

For Physicians & Discharge Planners

Send referrals directly to our intake team. We handle all insurance coordination, patient communication, and clinical intake so your patient transitions seamlessly from facility or clinic to home health.
