Abstract: The survey is necessary to collect information about the Home Health Independence Demosntration mandated by Section 702 of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. The survey will be used to improve CMS's understanding of the application of the Medicare home health benefits eligibility criteria in the demonstration states. The survey will also contribute critical information to explain the relevance of the demonstration eligibility definition to the Medicare home health user population, and thereby assist CMS in future policymaking regarding home health eligibility.

Emergency Justfication: Please see the attached emergency justification document.
