The cost of home health care can be a financial strain for patients and their families. For many, Medicare serves as a crucial support system, offering not just affordable care but also financial and emotional relief.
Medicare costs vary depending on your specific coverage, the services you receive, and the providers you choose. Medicare Part B covers physician services, hospital outpatient care, durable medical equipment, and certain home health care services.
In 2025, Medicare Part B has a monthly premium of $185 and a $257 deductible, which includes coverage for home health care. Here’s what you’ll pay for home health care services after meeting your deductible.
Medicare home health care costs
There is no separate deductible or copayment specifically for home health care, as long as beneficiaries meet the eligibility criteria.
However, once the deductible is met, beneficiaries typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for home health care coverage.
This coinsurance may be applied to the purchase of durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, and hospital beds.
Medicare Part B eligibility
To qualify for Medicare Part B, you must be 65 years or older, have a disability, or be diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Enrollment begins three months before your 65th birthday, but benefits start only after reaching that age.
Staying informed is the key to accessing the benefits you’re entitled to. If you have questions, visit your nearest Social Security office or contact their support services.
