Prosthetic items are excluded from home health coverage. However, catheters, catheter
supplies, ostomy bags, and supplies related to ostomy care are not considered prosthetic
devices if furnished under a home health plan of care and are not subject to this exclusion
from coverage but are bundled while a patient is under a HH plan of care.
