Policy Agenda Brief on Opportunities for Expanding Home-Based Care within the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services and State-Based Programs

This policy agenda brief synthesizes research conducted by the Duke-Margolis Center to provide policy recommendations to increase access to home-based care for people with complex medical and social needs. This work was motivated by the significant policy opportunity right now to provide home-based care for millions of people in the United States, particularly individuals that are unable to receive health and health-related services in an office or facility setting due to health and functional limitations. Recommendations outline practical, short-term opportunities to expand home-based care value-based payments through Medicaid and other state-based initiatives.

This policy brief is part of the "Leveraging Payment Reforms to Transform and Expand Home-Based Care for People with Complex Health Needs" project.
