Home Physical Therapy Covered by Medicare Part B
Many patients in Vero Beach and Indian River County don't realize that Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy provided in the home. You do not have to be homebound to qualify — this is outpatient therapy delivered at home, not home health. If you simply prefer to receive your therapy at home rather than traveling to one of our clinics, that is a completely valid reason to choose in-home PT.
Who Can Receive Home PT?
Any patient who has Medicare Part B and a doctor's referral for physical therapy can choose to receive their outpatient PT at home. Common reasons patients choose in-home therapy include:
- Personal preference — you simply prefer the convenience and comfort of home
- Transportation challenges
- Recovery from surgery or illness making travel difficult
- Caregiver scheduling needs
- A desire to focus therapy on real-world tasks in your actual home environment
What Does Medicare Part B Cover?
Under Medicare Part B, covered outpatient home physical therapy services include:
- Initial evaluation and ongoing re-evaluations
- Therapeutic exercises and functional training
- Manual therapy techniques
- Gait training and balance exercises
- Fall prevention programs
- Home exercise program instruction
- Neuromuscular re-education
