Robin O'Neal presented information about how Medicare covers Home Health Care. This is a great benefit, but you must know about the process. HHC must be ordered by a doctor and is certified for a period of 60 days. If the need still exists, then the doctor can recertify for another 60 day period. HHC is covered at 100%. Hospice is covered at 100% and is considered palliative rather than curative....it is about living comfortably and having the support of a team of professionals.
