Professional Home Nursing's Health Care Team has an excellent understanding of all eligibility requirements and can determine if an individual qualifies.

Medicare helps pay for some skilled health care in your home to treat an illness or injury. If you meet all four of the following guidelines, Medicare may pay for your home health visits:
