# States M2 home care: reviewed home health and private duty nursing rates (vw_state_medicaid_homecare_v1)

`vlada_curated.vw_state_medicaid_homecare_v1` · State programs · status partial

Home health and private duty nursing rates as each state prints them, classified by a person who read each schedule (docs/research/states/<ST>/HOMECARE-SCHEDULES.csv, evidence per row), not by code: hospice, supplies, waiver, school and facility nursing are left out. Final independent check 2026-11-06: 96% of sampled rows correctly classed, dollars 40 of 40 match the state files. States that publish no FFS rate (paid through MCOs, cost-based, or case by case) have no rows here; the proof is in each state's ledger.

**Grain.** One row per rate-book row a reviewed per-state schedule registry names as home health (agency visit rates) or private duty nursing (RN / LPN home nursing), homecare_line in front; a row may appear under both lines when one printed rate is both (IN, AL). 2,500 current home health rows in 46 states, 455 current PDN rows in 47 states (Athena, 2026-11-06).
