Oppose Co-pays for Medicare Home Health
|
As Congress considers cost-saving measures, one proposal is to charge a co-pay for community-referred home health episodes.The home care community has raised concern that this policy will place a financial burden on seniors, especially low-income seniors, seeking clinically beneficial and cost effective home health care. In addition, co-payments could increase Medicare costs through longer hospital stays and an increase in costly facility utilization. |

Cosponsor the HELP Hospice Act
|
The legislation would address some of the difficulties in hospice’s compliance with the face-to-face encounter rule, would require piloting and a period of study for any future hospice payment reform- including the u-shaped curve- and would require more frequent surveys of hospice providers.
