Home Health Proposed Rule Comments Due August 16^th

If you have not already done so, please comment on the 2023 Home Health Proposed Rule by Tuesday, August 16^th. Comments can be made through the following link:

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/06/23/2022-13376/medicare-program-calendar-year-cy-2023-home-health-prospective-payment-system-rate-update-home

We have also included a draft comment letter template for you to use for your comments (in the event that you need it). CMS has to review and respond to every comment, so let’s let them know what we think and what the impact of the proposed rule would be should it remain in its current form.

It’s also important that we reach out to our Senators and Representatives and ask them to support the Preserving Access to Home Health Act (S.B. 4605), which would freeze the current payment rate in place, with the exception of annual market basket updates, through 2025. 

Calls and personal messages are best, but if you are short on time, a message has been pre-drafted and can be sent in seconds from the NAHC Virtual Advocacy Center.  

Contact us with any questions – and remember, comments to CMS are due Tuesday!
