Recent trends in home health agencies

Home health activity has trended upward in recent years. The volume of home health care claims has increased by 56% from 2021 through 2025. The number of distinct home health patients is up nearly 90% across the same time period.

That growth reflects broader demand for care outside traditional facility settings, but it also follows an important change in how patients can access Medicare home health services. Passed in March 2020, the CARES Act permanently expanded who can order and oversee home health care. Previously, physicians were responsible for certifying patients for the Medicare home health benefit. That authority has now expanded to nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and physician assistants, allowing these practitioners to certify and recertify patient eligibility, order home health services, and establish and periodically review plans of care.

What home health care is covered by Medicare?

If patients have Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B, they may be eligible for services such as a home health nurse, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, medical social services, home health aide care, injectable osteoporosis drugs for women, durable medical equipment, and medical supplies for use at home.

For Medicare patients to be eligible, they must be homebound, and a physician must be directing their care as well as developing, regularly reviewing, and certifying the care plan.

How do home health care agencies differ from other at-home care options?

Unlike other at-home care such as hospice, home health care does not provide 24-hour care to patients. Generally, Medicare will cover 28-35 hours of home health care services per week for a 60-day period.

After the 60-day “episode of care,” the care can be recertified an unlimited number of times if care is still indicated, and the patient is still demonstrating progress. Additionally, some patients living with chronic conditions can also receive home health coverage for an extended period of time.
