Focusing on a subset of Medicaid home and community-based services delivered in people’s homes, the Medicaid Home Care Chartbook provides data and analysis on recipients of Medicaid home care.
Released by the Research Institute for Home Care in collaboration with the National Alliance for Care at Home, the chartbook provides information on percentages of recipients accessing home care through different payer models, eligibility pathways, and geographies. The authors also examine data on individuals enrolled in Medicaid Expansion with home care claims, noting that though this only accounts for 1.4% of the expansion population, new work requirements, and eligibility review frequencies could threaten access to needed in-home care.
For providers and advocates in Medicaid home care, the brief offers data specifically limited to services provided in participant homes, when compared with other available analysis. The chartbook highlights the prevalence of home care utilization across eligibility pathways and offers estimates of coverage losses based on new HR 1 policies.
