To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to revise the interim payment system for home health care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries.

Summary

Amends part D (Miscellaneous Provisions) of title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA '97), to revise reasonable cost requirements for the interim system of limited payments for services provided by home health agencies, especially with regard to per beneficiary cost limits and efficiency standards. Amends BBA '97 with regard to the establishment of a prospective payment system (PPS) for such services to provide that if the Secretary of Health and Human Services does not establish such PPS for specified applicable cost reporting periods, the Secretary shall, for such periods, apply applicable limits under Medicare's reasonable cost requirements as they would otherwise be in effect. Repeals the current requirement that, during such a period, existing limits be reduced by 15 percent.
