As we covered here, new legislation was introduced in both the Senate and the House of Representatives to stop Patient Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) rate cuts. The PDGM model created by CMS will subject home health providers to a 6.42 percent cut in the base rate derived from assumptions of how providers might respond to the implementation of the PDGM model. This new legislation would eliminate CMS’ ability to make rate changes based on assumptions, instead requiring actual behavior change to be the standard for reimbursement adjustments.
