A new study from NAHC and Forcura shows how and a lack of interoperability and standards is holding the industry back. Why is this happening, what can be done about it, and what does the future hold? Read the report and find out!
CMS has proposed a big rate cut for home health agencies in 2020, based on unproven assumptions about provider behavior. A bill in Congress would prevent CMS from using faulty assumptions to impose rate cuts.

Congress can protect home health, but we need your voice to make it happen.
