Home Health Coverage Guidelines
Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, (CMS Publication 100-02, Ch. 7) 
Medicare pays for care in a beneficiary’s home, when qualifying criteria are met, and documented. It is essential for home health agencies to have a complete understanding of these criteria, as you have the right and responsibility, in collaboration with the physician, to decide if the beneficiary qualifies for your services. The agency then must understand what services are covered, and how to document these services. Refer to the following topics for more information:
