In a new issue brief, Brittany Lazur, Andrea Bennett, and Valerie King of the the Center for Evidence-based Policy at Oregon Health and Science University review existing Medicaid, Medicare, and private payer policies on home-based telehealth, and draw on stakeholder interviews, to give state policymakers a sense of the landscape. The authors also flag potential issues for policymakers developing and implementing policies and programs, including privacy concerns and care fragmentation.
Associate MED Director, Andrea Bennett, PhD, MSW, Associate Research Director, Curtis Harrod, PhD, MPH, and Center Director, Pam Curtis, MS, recently completed a policy report in partnership with the Milbank Memorial Fund on how Medicaid agencies measure the quality of home- and community-based services (HCBS), how they pay for them, and how to encourage more cost-effective services.
