John Olajide Speaks on Healthcare Advocacy at Home Care 100
Summary
At the 2023 Home Care 100 conference, Axxess Founder and CEO John Olajide sat on a panel as an industry expert for the general session titled, “The State of Medicare Reimbursement: Policy, Payment, and Provider Advocacy.” Other panelists included leaders of enterprise healthcare providers, a lobbyist and a representative of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC). And the second ‘why’ is, I’ve been wondering, why is there a disconnect between policy positions and even how legislators think about the value that we create?” Olajide discussed his experiences speaking with members of Congress from both parties, many of whom expressed their appreciation for the home healthcare industry. Those who serve rural communities noted that home healthcare workers may be the only people visiting those who are elderly or ill and live in remote areas of the country. Current projections from Medicare trustees show spending from that trust will exceed revenue beginning this year, leading to a gradual depletion of assets. Olajide asserted his commitment to open dialogue with legislators and MedPAC to work toward a solution that addresses Medicare solvency while enabling home health organizations to continue providing high-quality care.
