For many, Medicare Part A is premium-free if you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. However, Part B and other parts of Medicare usually have monthly premiums. The exact cost depends on your income and the specific coverage you choose. Let us help you clarify your potential costs for home health care services in Riverside.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps cover costs for doctor visits, hospital stays, and other health care services. When considering home health care in Riverside, understanding Part A and Part B is key to knowing what support is available.

Medicare generally doesn't cover long-term care (custodial care), cosmetic surgery, most dental care, eye exams for glasses, hearing aids, or routine foot care. For home health care, it typically covers skilled nursing care and therapy, not ongoing personal care. Knowing these limits helps you plan for services in Riverside.

Generally, you need to be 65 or older and a U.S. citizen or legal resident for at least five years.
