Plain-English summary
Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to require that limitations on Medicare payments for home health services be applied on an aggregate rather than a discipline-specific basis for home health agencies. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in establishing such limitations, to take into account: (1) recent cost data; and (2) changes in costs resulting from changes in billing and verification procedure requirements.
