Calls Grow to Rethink Medicare Home Health Coverage
Original: Rethinking Medicare home health
Policy discussions are turning to how Medicare covers home health services, with the Brookings Institution publishing an analysis arguing the program needs rethinking. As America's population ages and demand for care at home grows, experts are questioning whether current payment rules and eligibility standards serve patients well. Commenters are weighing cost pressures against the benefits of keeping seniors out of hospitals and nursing facilities.
Why now: Aging populations and rising health costs are pushing Medicare home health policy back onto the reform agenda.
