Association Meets with Congress: Urge Changes to Home Health Proposed Cuts
A fly-in organized by NAHC brought about 120 people from 26 states to the capital last Wednesday, resulting in hundreds of meetings with congressmen and senators to gather more support for the home care leaders’ fight against Medicare rate cuts. Tracy Wodatch (Association Pres/CEO) and Chris Pankratz (Masters in Home Care Pres/CEO) met with four Connecticut Congressional leadership staff to voice their concerns over recent rate cuts as well as problems with the Medicaid 80/20 Access rule and the Hospice Special Focus Program.
Here are the NAHC talking points:
