HOME HEALTH CARE NEWS: Landmark Choose Home Bill Introduced in the House
New legislation entitled, The Choose Home Care Act of 2021, was introduced to the House of Representatives. It would create an add-on payment to the traditional Medicare Home Health Benefit, allowing providers to mix in telehealth, transportation, personal care and other services. The main concept of this would be to give nursing home residents who are on Medicare more options how and where they recover following a hospital stay.
