Report says Medicare home health reform needs clearer goals

Original: Key to Medicare home health reform is determining program’s objective: report

A new report argues that reforming Medicare's home health program depends first on defining what the program is meant to achieve. Without agreement on its core objective, the report says, policymakers cannot design effective payment or delivery reforms. The finding is drawing attention from home care providers and industry observers following Medicare payment rule changes.

Why now: Ongoing debate over Medicare home health payment cuts and reform proposals has focused attention on the program's purpose.
