The implementation of hospital reimbursement on the basis of diagnosis‐related groups and on its effect on home health care is explored. The issue is examined in relation to the types of services now being requested of home health care agencies and how agencies have responded. Implications of a diagnosis‐related group system of reimbursement for home health care services, are also considered.
