This article contains data from a study of New Jersey's home and community-based Medicaid waiver program for persons with symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus illness. Major findings include lower hospital costs and utilization for waiver participants compared with general Medicaid acquired immunodeficiency syndrome admissions in New Jersey. Average program expenditures were $2,400 per person per month. Based on study findings, it is evident that the waiver program is an important means of providing financial benefits and access to services and that comprehensive case management is a critical factor in assuring program quality.
本文包含一项针对新泽西州为有症状的人类免疫缺陷病毒感染者设立的居家和社区医疗补助豁免计划的研究数据。主要研究结果包括,与新泽西州普通医疗补助获得性免疫缺陷综合征住院患者相比,豁免计划参与者的住院费用和住院率更低。该计划的平均支出为每人每月2400美元。基于研究结果,显然豁免计划是提供经济福利和服务获取途径的重要手段,而全面的病例管理是确保计划质量的关键因素。
