Summary

Directs the Secretary, in conducting such projects, to consider: (1) alternative benefits that encompass a range of outpatient services that are particularly appropriate to individuals suffering from such a progressive, chronic illness; and (2) providing alternative benefits in a manner that is analogous to the manner in which benefits for hospice care are made available under Medicare. Limits the cost of each such project. Provides for the paying for such projects.
