We need help with Mileage reimbursement ! I pay my caregivers over 1000.00 in mileage reimburse EACH TWO WEEK PAY -- and 50% of that is the miles we're giving away for our medicaid clients, who need trips to grocery stores (they don't have cars!) NO ONE is paying me back for all of this. It's a VERY UNFAIR COST TO US. Do anything to help us out in this area?

This potentially could put all non-medicare certified vendors out of business and simply transfer my business to home healthcare entities that provide skilled services. Not quite sure why HCAOA is behind this legislation with such limited documentation.

How can this be good for the private pay home health companies? If this service is going to be offered and paid for by Medicare, it will basically put private duty out of business.

So if this bill passes as briefly written above in article, it basically puts all non-medical home care agencies out of business. Would HCAOA comment on why they are in support of such legislation?

Hi everyone...thanks for the comments. The Choose Home Care bill calls for a new benefit under Medicare that not only includes 30 more days of home health following a hospital stay, but also 360 hours of personal care.
