What part of Medicare covers home enteral nutrition?

• A. Medicare Part A
• B. Medicare Part C
• C. Medicare Part D
• D. Medicare Part B

Answer: (D)

Medicare Part B covers home enteral nutrition. This falls under durable medical equipment and related supplies used at home for a medically necessary treatment, with a physician’s prescription. Part B handles outpatient services and DME like feeding pumps, tubing, and enteral formulas when they’re prescribed for home use. The other parts don’t cover this in the same way: Part A is inpatient hospital coverage, Part D is prescription drugs, and Part C (Medicare Advantage) is an alternative plan that may coordinate coverage but is not the standard basis for this benefit.
