Medicaid will not reimburse an attending physician for certifying the home health plan of care. This is considered as already reimbursed to the attending physician through any evaluation and management services provided throughout the period of illness that the recipient is receiving home health care assistance.
Please note: Medicaid would cover Home Health services provided by the Home Health Agency but not for physician who certifies the Home Health plan of care.
