As part of a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-funded study, case studies were conducted in AL, IN, WA, WI, MD, MI, and KY to assess the major features of the home and community-based services system for older people and younger adults with physical disabilities in each state. The case studies analyzed the financing of services; administrative systems; eligibility, assessment and case management structures; the services provided; cost containment efforts; and quality assurance. The role that Medicaid plays in home and community-based services is a major focus of the study. (Health Care Financing Review 2002 Spring; 23(3); 89-114).
