      abstract = {Medicare home health coverage is an important resource for  Medicare beneficiaries requiring health care at home.  However, there have been changes in the United States  health care system that might impact home health  utilization such as pressures to constrain Medicare  spending, growth in Medicare Advantage (MA) plan  enrollment, decline in institutional long-term care and  growth of Medicaid home- and community-based services.  Given these changes, we examined home health care use  trends among beneficiaries enrolled in traditional Medicare  (TM) and MA from 2010 to 2020. We separately examined home  health episodes that were initiated after a hospital or  skilled nursing facility discharge and those initiated  within the community and among dually and non-dually  eligible beneficiaries. Home health use decreased among TM  enrollees for both community-initiated and post-discharge  needs but increased among MA enrollees for  community-initiated home health use. Increases in  community-initiated home health use were concentrated in  non-dually eligible beneficiaries.},
