1. You need the help of another person or medical equipment such as crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair to leave your home.
2. Your medical provider believes that your health or illness could get worse if you leave your home.
3. And, it is difficult for you to leave your home and you typically cannot do so.

Our providers will decide if you are homebound based on their evaluation of your condition. If found to be homebound, you will be eligible to receive in-home primary care visits by M-Care. You may also be eligible for in-home nursing, therapy (such as physical, occupational, or speech), and/or medical social worker visits.  We work with all local home health and hospice companies and you are free to choose which company you would like.

It’s important to note that even if you are homebound, you can still leave your home for medical treatment, religious services, and/or to attend a licensed or accredited adult day care center without putting your homebound status at risk. Leaving home for short periods of time or for special non-medical events, such as a family reunion, funeral, or graduation, does not affect your homebound status. You may also take occasional trips to the barber or beauty parlor.

Most insurance carriers cover in-home primary care for qualifying patients.
