Final answer:
Coverage for home health services under Medicare is not limited to Medicare Part A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The false statement regarding Medicare coverage and home health services is number 2) Coverage is only reimbursed under Medicare A.
Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and certain home health care services, but it does not cover all home health services. Medicare Part B covers medically necessary services that are needed to diagnose or treat a medical condition and would normally be provided in an outpatient setting, including some home health services. Therefore, statement 2) is false because coverage for home health services can also be provided under Medicare Part B.
The other three statements are true: 1) Services are certified for 60 day episodes, 3) The PT must reassess the patient at least every 30 days, and 4) In order to qualify, the patient must meet homebound requirements.
