Abstract

Our findings suggest a substitution between Medicaid HCBS and Medicare CIHHC among dual-eligible older adults at the margin of using Medicaid HCBS, a relationship that should be taken into account when evaluating either program. These findings also align with the hypothesis that Medicare CIHHC is being used as a substitute for LTC, and the availability of home-based LTC may help to alleviate this potentially inefficient use.
