AHA Supports Extension of Medicare Waivers for Hospital-at-Home Program

The American Hospital Association (AHA) has voiced support for the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act (H.R. 4313), which proposes extending Medicare waivers for the hospital-at-home care program. The AHA highlights that a long-term extension would facilitate continued data collection on quality, cost savings, and patient experience while providing stability for patients and providers. This legislative initiative is under review by the House Ways and Means Committee in the context of broader healthcare legislation.
