42 U.S.C. § 300ff–24: Grants for home- and…

Summary

A State may use grant money to fund groups that do three things for people with HIV/AIDS. They can give home- and community-based health care under written care plans made by a case management team that includes health professionals. They can reach out to people with HIV/AIDS, including those in rural areas. They can coordinate these services with other HIV care from public and private providers, including specialty care and hepatitis vaccinations. When picking grantees, the State must favor groups that agree to join any State HIV care consortia and to use the money to serve low-income people with HIV/AIDS. "Home- and community-based health services" means skilled care given at home under a written care plan by a case management team. It includes durable medical equipment; home health aides and personal care; day treatment or partial hospitalization; home IV and aerosol drug therapy (including prescription drugs used in that therapy); routine diagnostic tests at home; and appropriate mental health, developmental, and rehab services. It does not include inpatient hospital care or nursing homes/long-term care facilities.
