Medicare Home Health Reimbursement Cuts Reduced to $220M for Next Year
Medicare home health services will experience a reimbursement reduction of $220 million next year, a decrease from the initially proposed $1 billion cut by CMS. This adjustment represents a partial mitigation of the financial impact originally anticipated by home health providers. Despite this reduction, providers maintain that the current Medicare payment model for home health care remains financially unsustainable, raising concerns about long-term viability and quality of care delivery.
