Key Federal Issues
Home Health
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have cut funding to Medicare home health yearly since 2020. In June, CMS proposed new cuts totally $280 million in 2025 alone. Cuts to home health care funding threaten access to care to vulnerable populations. H4HC is tracking this issue closely and will update accordingly.
