Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the CY 2025 Home Health Final Rule: while payments increase slightly (+0.5%), there are permanent adjustments that may reduce reimbursements over time.
Tip: Even if you are a “home care” (non-home health) agency, many of your referral partners and payer-relationships are tied to these shifts.
- Hold a finance or strategy meeting this week: “How could the CMS rule affect our reimbursement or partnerships?”
Update your risk register accordingly.
