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.
The eligibility rules for home health care under Medicare are fairly complicated, so it's a good idea to understand them well in order to get the most out of your coverage. Medicare publishes a booklet called Medicare and Home Health Care that explains the rules for Medicare home health care eligibility and covered services. Also, to find specific home health care agencies in your area that provide Medicare-covered services, you can visit Medicare's Home Health Compare interactive tool on the Medicare web site.
