Disparities in Home Health Service Providers among Medicare Beneficiaries with Stroke.
This study examined the intensity of home health (HH) services, as defined by the number of visits and service delivery by rehabilitation specialists, among Medicare beneficiaries with stroke. A cross-sectional secondary data analysis was conducted using 2009 HH claims data obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Research Data Assistance Center. There were no significant rural-urban differences in the number of HH visits.
