In this article, the authors report sociodemographic characteristics and patterns of HHC utilization by Medicare-covered ESRD patients.

| description |
The use of home health care (HHC) services among Medicare end stage renal disease (ESRD) enrollees remains an understudied area. In this article, the authors report sociodemographic characteristics and patterns of HHC utilization by Medicare-covered ESRD patients. The authors found that those who were female, age 85 or over, diabetic, and residing in the New England or West South Central census divisions were more likely to use HHC services and were also more intensive users. Analysis of use patterns in such high-risk populations is necessary to ensure that health policy changes do not have unintended consequences for vulnerable patients. |
