SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under section 1115 of the Social Security Act (the Act), the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may consider and approve
research and demonstration proposals with a broad range of policy
objectives. These demonstrations can lead to improvements in achieving
the purposes of the Act.
In exercising her discretionary authority, the Secretary has
developed a number of policies and procedures for reviewing proposals.
On September 27, 1994, we published a notice in the Federal Register
(59 FR 49249) that specified (1) the principles that we ordinarily will
consider when approving or disapproving demonstration projects under
the authority in section 1115(a) of the Act; (2) the procedures we
expect States to use in involving the public in the development of
proposed demonstration projects under section 1115; and (3) the
procedures we ordinarily will follow in reviewing demonstration
proposals. We are committed to a thorough and expeditious review of
State requests to conduct such demonstrations.
As part of our procedures, we publish a notice in the Federal
Register with a monthly listing of all new submissions, pending
proposals, approvals, disapprovals, and withdrawn proposals. Proposals
submitted in response to a grant solicitation or other competitive
process are reported as received during the month that such grant or
bid is awarded, so as to prevent interference with the awards process.

2. Pending Proposals
Demonstration Title/State: Alternatives in Medicaid Home Care
Demonstration--Colorado.
Description: Colorado proposes to conduct a pilot project that
eliminates the restriction on provision of Medicaid home health
services in locations other than the beneficiary's place of residence.
The proposal would also permit nursing aides to perform functions that
historically have been provided only by skilled nursing staff. Medicaid
beneficiaries participating in the project will be adults (including
both frail elderly clients and younger clients with disabilities) who
can live independently and self-direct their own care. The project
would provide for delegation of specific functions from nurses to
certified nurses aides, pay nurses for shorter supervision and
monitoring visits, and allow higher payments to aides performing
delegated nursing tasks. Currently, home health agency nursing and
nurse aide services are paid on a per visit basis. Each visit is
approximately 2-4 hours in duration, and recipients must require
skilled, hands-on care.

beneficiary, a nurse practitioner, the beneficiary's choice of primary
care physician, and a social worker or independent living coordinator.
Consumer choice of care, settings and the manner of service delivery is
a key component of the program. The demonstration will test the use of
