President's MessagePosted: November 1, 2022 As many of you already know, the 2023 Final Rule was published yesterday. Through extensive advocacy by APTA Home Health, APTA, and many others, we have staved off the full extent of the “behavioral adjustment”. We must continue our advocacy efforts, however, to ensure the sustainability of our industry going forward. Legislation is needed to prevent these unfounded “behavioral adjustments,” and force CMS to utilize a data-driven process to set rates. If you have not yet completed the member survey that you received about 2 weeks ago, please complete it now! It is vitally important to us to know what you perceive as valuable so we can maximize your experience as an Academy member. Thank you in advance for taking five minutes of your time to let us know your wants and needs from APTA Home Health. Sincerely, Phil Goldsmith |
