Abstract
In this study, the association between Medicare regulations and the provision of public home health care is examined. Medicare clients were compared with non-Medicare groups of those 65 years of age or over and those under 65. Results suggested that both age- and payer-related factors contribute to utilization of services. Older patients showed greater need for chronic illness care relative to younger patients; however, Medicare patients used fewer resources and had poorer outcomes relative to older non-Medicare patients.
