## Abstract

This final rule specifies the revised requirements for Medicaid coverage of personal care services furnished in a home or other location as an optional benefit, effective for services furnished on or after October 1, 1994. In particular, this final rule specifies that personal care services may be furnished in a home or other location by any individual who is qualified to do so. This rule conforms the Medicaid regulations to the provisions of section 13601(a)(5) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which added section 1905(a)(24) to the Social Security Act. Additionally, we are making two minor changes to the Medicaid regulations concerning home health services.
