What isn’t covered?
Below are some examples of what Medicare doesn’t pay for:
** 24-hour-a-day care at home.
* Meals delivered to your home.
Homemaker services like shopping, cleaning, and laundry when this is the only care you need, and when these services aren’t related to your plan of care. See page 19.
Personal care given by home health aides like bathing, dressing, and using the bathroom when this is the only care you need.
Talk to your doctor or the home health agency if you have questions about whether certain services are covered. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
Note: If you have a Medigap (Medicare Supplement Insurance) policy or other health insurance coverage, be sure to tell your doctor or other health care provider so your bills get paid correctly.
