Specialization of Home Health Agencies to Deliver Care for Medicare Advantage Patients
In this cohort study of MA patients who received HHA care, those receiving care from more MA-specialized HHAs had lower service use during the HHA episode, but no clear differences compared with non-MA-specialized HHAs were observed in care use after discharge. These findings are important given the costs associated with delivering HHA care and the expected growth in MA enrollment.
