HA article 23

Heath Affairs Forefront has published an article, "Policy Opportunities To Expand Home-Based Care For People With Complex Health Needs."

Home-based care is an important and undertapped modality for providing care to millions of people in the United States who are unable to access or have difficulty obtaining care. Through interviews with leading experts, policy makers, payers, and providers the authors developed technical policy recommendations that can improve home-based care through value-based payment models implemented by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (the Innovation Center), traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid programs. This article synthesizes their findings and provides a high-level overview of immediate policy options to strengthen home-based care models.

Support for this work was provided by the Commonwealth Fund, The SCAN Foundation and The John A. Hartford Foundation.
