You mentioned that there was a resource that describes the various skilled nursing services provided under the Medicare home health benefit. Where can we access this?
The Internet Only Manuals (IOMs), published by CMS, contain information regarding the Medicare benefit. Medicare coverage and policy information is found in the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual (Pub. 100-02). Chapter 7 of this resource contains the information specific to the Medicare home health benefit, including services that are covered under a home health plan of care such as skilled nursing.
