As a home care business owner, are you seeking accelerated growth and the ultimate goal of entrepreneurial freedom?
Thank you to the more than 100 HCAOA members who traveled to Washington, D.C. last week to advocate for home care during the 2024 HCAOA National Home Care Advocacy Day! Over 100 meetings were held with members of Congress, personal connections were made, and existing ones strengthened allowing doors to be opened on important issues impacting home care.
As expected, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized their Medicaid Access Rule today. Among many other things, the rule includes a problematic provision that mandates that 80 percent of Medicaid reimbursement dollars paid to providers be allocated to caregiver wages. Although HCAOA supports certain aspects of this rule, the 80/20 provision will cause many Medicaid providers to either curtail services or cease providing services entirely, resulting in reduced patient access.
Today, HCAOA members and home care advocates from across the country are uniting on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, to urge our national lawmakers to support laws and policies that help make home care more affordable and more accessible for every American who needs it.
