| Description |
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the impact of the Rural Hospice Demonstration on changes in the access and cost of care, and to assess the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries with terminal diagnoses who reside in rural areas but lack an appropriate caregiver. Two rural hospice facilities enrolled in the demonstration, which will last up to five years. Under the demonstration, CMS will reimburse hospices for the full range of care provided within their walls. CMS will also waive the 20-percent inpatient day cap for beneficiaries in the demonstration, and the requirement that the hospice must provide care in the community for one of the hospices in the demonstration. Evaluation tasks include monitoring the progress of the demonstration, and preparation of case studies and impact analyses using secondary data. Evaluation results will be incorporated into a report to the Congress when the demonstration ends.
