CMS issued a Calendar Year (CY) 2023 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Rate Update proposed rule to update Medicare payment policies and rates for home health agencies. See a summary of key provisions. Proposals include:

• Routine updates to the Medicare HH PPS and home infusion therapy services payment rates for CY 2023
• Permanent prospective payment adjustment to the home health 30-day period payment rate
• Requests for input on how best to implement a temporary payment adjustment for CYs 2020 and 2021, and collecting telehealth data on home health claims

We encourage you to review the rule, and submit formal comments by August 16, 2022.
