State spending for Medicare and Medicaid home care programs

Health Aff (Millwood). 1998 Jan-Feb;17(1):201-12. doi: 10.1377/hlthaff.17.1.201.

Abstract

Congressional attempts to curtail spending growth in Medicare home health may affect Medicaid, given the number of Medicare enrollees who qualify for Medicaid-covered home care services. This DataWatch examines interactions between the Medicare and Medicaid home care programs using state-level expenditure data for 1995 and through case studies in five states: Connecticut, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, and New York.
