Back To Health Physical Therapy’s “Therapy at Home” services are covered by Medicare Part B – providing Outpatient Physical and Occupational Therapy in the home, instead of in a clinic. We also work with many other insurance companies, secondary insurances, and private pay.
We are not a traditional “Homecare Agency” – covered by Medicare Part A, which is applicable only for home-bound status patients.
Many of our patients receive our “Therapy at Home” program after they have completed their Part A, homecare agency, therapy program and are ready to begin outpatient therapy. To clarify the difference between Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B:
