Medicare Home Health Payment Rule and Program Integrity Proposals

AAHD and the Lakeshore Foundation have joined two coalitions submitting comments to CMS on proposed Medicare Home Health Payment rules. The focus of the comments address possible impacts of program integrity (avoiding waste, fraud, and abuse) proposals. Available here are the August 31 submissions of the Coalition To Preserve Rehabilitation (CPR) and Independence Through Enhancement of Medicare and Medicaid (ITEM) Coalition: The ITEM Coalition comments focused on DMEPOS (Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies) payment.
