CALL TO ACTION: 2023 Proposed Home Health RuleAPTA Home Health is opposed to several key provisions of the 2023 Proposed Home Health Rule, and is concerned that if it were to pass in its current form, many home health agencies across the country would not be able to withstand the impact of the proposed rate cuts. According to a recent analysis performed of available data, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice estimated that the rule would result in 37% of free-standing home health agencies and 50% of all non hospital-based agencies operating at a <0% net margin. The best time to begin our grassroots efforts against the destructive proposed changes will be when Congress is at recess in August. In the meantime, please use this link to go to the Federal Register and submit a formal comment about the rule. Let CMS and Congress know what it would do to your agency and those you care for. Comments must be submitted by 08/16/2022 to be considered. Resources: |
