Abstract
This study examines the issue of economies of scale for home health agencies. A quadratic cost function is estimated utilizing a 1982 national data set based on Medicare Cost Reports for 2000 home health agencies. This paper concludes that neither economies of scale nor scope are substantial in the provision of home health services.
