Advocacy Top of Mind at Home Health Conference (TAHCH)
Summary
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), RCD “establishes the review choice process for home health services to assist in developing improved procedures to identify and prevent fraud, protect beneficiaries from harm, and safeguard taxpayer dollars to empower patients while minimizing unnecessary provider burden.” Days before the end of the choice selection period, more than 1,000 Texas agencies had not made their choice.

Many of the industry leaders questioned openly whether the lack of choice was because agencies simply have a small Medicare census and feel the post-claim review will not create undue burdens. To help prepare participants for those conversations, the current legislative topics surrounding care at home include the following: Committees provide a great source of both education and resources for Texas agencies. TAHCH will campaign for additional representation for all service lines to include Medicare home health, pediatrics and private duty.
