Money Follows the Person: Reducing Nursing Facility Utilization and Expenditures to Expand Home- and Community-Based Services
01/01/2005 | Requests *Summary
This issue brief will present several approaches that attempt to tackle the underlying challenge of reducing nursing facility utilization and expenditures. These range from modifying the nursing facility reimbursement methodology; to converting nursing facilities to assisted living centers, paying nursing facilities to take beds off-line, and using capitated managed long-term care; to approaches with theoretical promise that have yet to be adopted in any state.
