Medicare’s Shaking Things Up: What’s New for Home Health in 2025

Medicare is making waves again with proposed changes for home health agencies in 2025. Let’s break down what this means for you and your patients.

First off, CMS is proposing to cut Medicare payments to home health agencies by about 1.7%. On top of that, the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) is getting a makeover. This means more changes to how you classify patients and get paid.

Quality reporting is also changing. Expect updates to the Quality Reporting Program (QRP) with new measures and requirements. And to top it off, CMS might expand the value-based purchasing model, putting more focus on patient outcomes and efficiency.

So, what does this mean for you? It’s going to be a busy time. Staying up-to-date on these changes is crucial. And accurate coding is more important than ever.
