Skilled nursing care and intravenous injections

Skilled nursing care, such as intravenous injections and other treatments, can only be administered by a licensed nurse or physician. This is described as "skilled nursing care". Medicare Part A may cover skilled nursing care in certain circumstances, such as after a hospital stay for a related condition. Skilled nursing care is defined as care that can only be provided by licensed healthcare professionals, such as registered nurses or physical therapists. This can include wound care, medication management, and other medical services that require specialized training and knowledge.

Intravenous injections, or IV injections, may also be covered by Medicare if they are considered medically necessary and prescribed by a healthcare provider. This can include medications, fluids, or other substances that are administered through an IV line.

It's important to note that Medicare coverage for skilled nursing care and IV injections may have certain restrictions and requirements. For example, skilled nursing care may only be covered for a limited time period, and IV injections may require prior authorization or be subject to certain cost-sharing amounts.

Beneficiaries should review their Medicare coverage carefully and work closely with their healthcare providers to understand their coverage and out-of-pocket costs for skilled nursing care and IV injections.
