Community-Based Care Each Home Care Service is based around a CRMC hospital to ensure community-based care.

To qualify for home health under Medicare a person must be homebound, under the care of a physician, and in need of skilled services on an intermittent basis. Intermittent home care services are those that are only needed a few hours a day or week. A patient does not have to be bedridden or totally confined to home to qualify for Medicare reimbursement. The patient is considered "homebound" if he or she is unable to leave home without considerable and taxing effort. A physician must establish and periodically review the patient's plan of care. Who Pays For Home Care Services? Many insurance plans cover home care services, including Medicare. CRMC Home Care Services personnel will file all insurance claims. Medicare covers most of the Home Care Services cost. Most major medical insurance plans reimburse up to 80% for home care. Some patients may also have coverage through a HMO or preferred provider organization (PPO). CRMC Home Care Services will conduct an assessment to determine what services are covered by your particular plan and that plan's eligibility requirements.
