Is it necessary to obtain a prescription for home health care in order to recieve financial assistance from Medicare?

Asked by Road  |  Aug 13, 2009

I live in Texas. Does a doctor or nurse have to write a prescription for home health care before I can hire someone to help with daily home care like bathing and dressing my Mom -- at least as far as Medicare is concerned?
