This $2,497,615 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to evaluate the impact of new Medicare home health agency (HHA) payment policies on healthcare utilization and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).

The project has three key objectives: 1) characterizing changes in the ADRD beneficiary population eligible for HHA services, 2) evaluating the effect of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model and Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Program on HHA service use, and 3) examining the impact of HHA services on clinical events like hospitalizations and nursing home admissions. Harvard Medical School is serving as a sub-grantee, responsible for building national Medicare beneficiary cohorts, providing statistical guidance, and conducting data analyses. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026. Findings could inform policymakers, clinicians, patients, and families about the impact of HHA services for this vulnerable population and identify any disparities associated with social factors.
