The home healthcare industry is facing a major upheaval as agencies prepare for significant changes. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Proposed Rule for 2025 Medicare Home Health is not just another regulatory adjustment.
Imagine this: Dealing with staffing shortages, where 97% of home health agencies are struggling to recruit qualified clinicians. Your staff is overwhelmed with paperwork, spending a quarter of their time on documentation instead of patient care. And now, CMS has announced potential reimbursement cuts of up to 7.69% in 2025.
Does this scenario sound familiar? You are not alone. This proposed rule is not just a hurdle – it’s a wake-up call. It prompts us to address tough questions:
- How can we uphold quality care with potentially fewer resources?
- Will we be able to stay operational if these cuts are implemented?
- Is there a way to adapt and succeed in this changing landscape?
In this article, we delve into the details of the CMS Proposed Rule. But we don’t stop there. We also explore how innovative AI and automation solutions for home care could serve as a vital resource for home care agencies.
