How Torn Biceps Happens. The tendon near the elbow is strained or torn when an athlete's arm absorbs an unexpected amount of force (e.g. a skier or snowboarder breaking a fall) or during a forceful pushing motion.
Medicare covers many home health services, such as physical therapy and intermittent nursing care, through its Part A hospital coverage and Part B medical coverage. Not all services qualify, and patients must meet eligibility requirements, including certification from a doctor that home treatment is necessary.
