We need your help please see link below:

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed a $1.135 billion cut to Medicare home health payments for calendar year 2026. This cut would come on top of three consecutive years of reductions, threatening access to care for millions of Americans nationwide. Home health agencies are already closing doors or shrinking their coverage areas, leaving fewer care options for families for their loved ones, with hospitals struggling to discharge patients in need of this vital benefit.



To protect access to care, in partnership with the National Alliance for Care at Home, we have prepared a letter to Congressional leadership urging them to oppose these harmful cuts. Stakeholder organizations such as associations, health systems, chambers of commerce, specialty societies, and other industry trade groups that represent provider, patient, or community interests at the state or national level are invited to sign on in support of this letter.

Ø Sign-On Form https://nhpco1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d4sdaHjq6zzwtw2: Stop CY 2026 Home Health Payment Cuts – Organization Sign-On Form
Ø Target Deadline: Wednesday, October 22, 5:00 p.m. ET

Your support will be critical to stopping these cuts and protecting access to home health care.
