Reimbursement:
MEDICARE PAYS YOU MORE NEXT YEAR
Published on Mon Oct 02, 2006
Home health agencies will receive a 3.3 percent increase to Medicare payment rates starting Jan. 1, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Nov. 1.
That's up slightly from the 3.1 percent increase CMS proposed in its Aug. 3 proposed rule on next year's prospective payment system update.
Agencies that don't submit OASIS data will see only a 1.3 percent increase, CMS notes in a release. Rural agencies will receive an average 3.6 percent higher rate while urban agencies will see a 3.1 percent increase.
Note: For more information on next year's rates, see next week's issue of Eli's Home Care Week
