"These proposals represent the first major payment changes for home health agencies since 2000," said Norwalk. "Taken together, these proposed changes would more accurately match HHA costs with payments received while maintaining the fiscal integrity of the Medicare system and encouraging more effective and higher quality care for beneficiaries."

The proposed rule is available on the CMS website at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/HomeHealthPPS/downloads/CMS-1541-P.pdf and background information on the differences between the current HH PPS and the proposed refinements and updates of this rule can be found at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/media/fact_sheets.asp.
