 Join your colleagues at HCAOA's National Home Care Advocacy Day on April 17 in Washington, D.C., to discuss the importance of home care with your legislators.
Yesterday, HCAOA met with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs within the White House’s Office of Management and Budget to discuss CMS’ proposed Medicaid Access Rule, also referred to as the 80/20 Rule. This rule, among many other things, would mandate that 80% of Medicaid reimbursement dollars pass through to caregiver wages, leaving only 20% of the reimbursement for all other costs incurred in providing services.
Senators Thom Tillis (R-North Caroline) and Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) and Congressman Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15) and Congresswoman Judy Chu (D-California-28) introduced the Connecting Caregivers to Medicare Act of 2024 (S.3766). The bill would help inform Medicare beneficiaries and individuals applying for benefits under Medicare Part A or enrolling under Medicare Part B about the option to fill out a form to give Medicare permission to share their personal health information with a family caregiver through 1-800-MEDICARE. This authorization form helps family caregivers when they call 1-800-MEDICARE to assist their loved one or advocate on their behalf, saving family caregivers time and making it easier for them to interact with Medicare to support and assist their loved one.
