The HH PPS - Unit of Payment
The 30-day period of care is the unit of payment for HH PPS. The period of care
payment is specific to one individual homebound beneficiary. It pays all Medicare
covered home care that is reasonable and necessary for the patient’s care, including
routine and nonroutine supplies used by that beneficiary during the period of care. It is
the only Medicare form of payment for such services, with the exceptions described in
§10.B.
See §40 for details on billing these services.
