To be eligible for Medicare covered home health services,

a beneficiary must meet three requirements:

1. he/she must be homebound,

2. he/she must need part-time or intermittent skilled

nursing care and/or skilled rehabilitation, or, after

establishing prior eligibility, a continuing need for

occupational therapy, and

3. he/she must be under the care of a physician and

need reasonable and necessary home health services

that have been certified by a physician and established

in a 60-day plan of care.

One way is to use SLIMB (Specified Low-Income

Medicare Beneficiary Program). The SLIMB program

provides payment of Medicare Part B premiums only for

individuals who would be eligible for the QMB program

except for excess income. Many are eligible and do not

even know it.
