The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, together with cost-limit reductions and wage-index changes published in the Federal Register, have resulted in a substantial reduction in Medicare cost limits, particularly as they apply to hospital-based home health agencies. This article examines specific changes in home health agency cost limits, reviews strategies to identify the bottom-line impact of the Medicare cost-limit reductions, and discusses methods that may be applied to minimize the negative impact of the reduced cost limits.
1993年的《综合预算协调法案》，连同在《联邦公报》上公布的成本限制削减和工资指数变化，已导致医疗保险成本限制大幅降低，特别是在适用于医院附属家庭健康机构方面。本文研究了家庭健康机构成本限制的具体变化，回顾了确定医疗保险成本限制削减的底线影响的策略，并讨论了可用于尽量减少成本限制降低的负面影响的方法。
