Abstract:
People with disabilities need home care to help them leave their homes; if they actually leave, however, HCFA now says they are no longer homebound and don't qualify for home care under Medicare. Many policymakers and legislators believe that the Medicare home health benefit was intended originally to be a post-acute benefit; however, current law does not support that attitude.
