Moving Health Home responded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) request for comments on deregulation ideas.
Care at home achieves so many of the health care priorities of this Administration. Caring for someone outside of an institutional setting promotes cost savings, patient empowerment, better chronic disease management, more effective post-acute rehabilitation, fewer infections, better mental health, less stress for caregivers, and more low-cost capacity in the system. However, there are so many regulatory and statutory barriers. While we work on Capitol Hill to address the legal barriers, there is so much the Trump Administration can do to pave the way for more seniors to receive care at home.
MHH identified rules and regulations that, if rescinded, would align Medicare reimbursement for expanded home-based services. MHH believes that removing these barriers will enable innovative, clinical models of care centered around the home.
