We report here a project designed to provide the home care and extended care facility services presently available under Medicare to a population of more than 100,000 people under 65 years of age in a comprehensive, prepaid group practice program. Data are presented on the impact of these services on the use of hospital care by the population. Costs and utilization data are presented, and the total cost of home care, extended care facility, and hospital service is compared to the previous cost of acute hospital alone. The project demonstrated that these services can be readily integrated into a prepaid group practice program. The demonstration successfully implemented the much discussed concept of progressive patient care
