Home Health Care in Santa Ana, CA
What you pay under Original Medicare
- Covered home health services: $0. If you qualify, you pay nothing for the nursing, therapy, medical social services and aide visits Medicare covers.
- Durable medical equipment: usually 20%. After the Part B deductible, you pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for covered equipment, such as a walker.
- Things Medicare doesn’t cover, like 24-hour care, meal delivery, or housekeeping unrelated to your care plan, are paid privately if you choose to arrange them.
The notice you might be handed
Before care starts, the agency should tell you how much Medicare will pay. If an item or service won’t be covered, the agency should tell you out loud and in writing and how much you’d owe. The form for this is called an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN). It’s not a bill. It’s a heads-up so you can decide before anything is provided. (medicare.gov)
If you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan, the rules come from your plan, and we’ll check them with you.

Home health brings skilled clinicians to your home for a limited time after an illness, injury, surgery or hospital stay. A doctor or nurse practitioner orders the care, and Medicare Part A and/or Part B usually covers it when the patient is homebound and needs part-time skilled services. Medicare Advantage plans also cover it, often with prior approval.
What the care team does
- Nurses manage wounds, medications, injections and chronic conditions such as heart failure, COPD or diabetes
- Physical, occupational and speech therapists work on walking, transfers, dressing, bathing, communication and swallowing
- Home health aides help with bathing and grooming while skilled care continues
- A medical social worker helps families with caregiver planning, benefits questions and community services
