Preserving Access to Home Health Act of 2023
HR 5128, the Preserving Access to Home Health Act of 2023, repeals temporary Medicare payment adjustments for home health agencies that were added by the 2018 Bipartisan Budget Act, restoring pre-2018 payment rates effective for 2024. This directly affects home health agencies that rely on Medicare reimbursement by stabilizing their payment structure. The bill also requires the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission to analyze how different payers (Medicare, Medicaid, others) impact home health agency finances and beneficiary access, including collecting detailed data on payments by payer source starting in 2025. These changes aim to ensure consistent funding and transparency in home health care financing.
