Home Health PPS
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Nov. 28 issued its calendar year (CY) 2026 final rule for the home health (HH) prospective payment system (PPS).
The AHA supports CMS’s proposal to eliminate the requirement that a face-to-face encounter include the narrative explanation, which will facilitate smoother transitions for hospitals discharging patients to home care and for hospital-based HH agencies initiating services.
