    Abstract

    This article presents an overview of changes in Medicare's payment system and their effect on home healthcare from a nursing standpoint, and makes policy recommendations for nurses. Home health care utilization, the Balanced Budget Act 1997, the effect of changes in Medicare reimbursement (on beneficiaries and providers), and transition to the new PPS system are discussed. Suggested strategies agencies can use, and how home care nurses can get involved in policy recommendations are presented.
