HCFA's home health initiative: the first comprehensive reassessment of the Medicare home health benefit.
Last year the Health Care Financing Administration announced an exciting program: the HCFA Home Health Initiative, which provided the home care industry an opportunity to contribute to changes in the way Medicare operates. For a year the Initiative pushed forward with goals and meetings. The newly elected members of Congress, however, have revealed many plans for cutting back on spending as well as government regulation. What does that mean for the Initiative and the Medicare home health benefit?
