Trump HHS Nominee Opposes Pre-Claim Review 12/1/2016

President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services Representative Tom Price, Republican Congressman from Georgia. In September, he introduced a bill to pause the Pre-Claim Review Demonstration.  If he is confirmed by the Senate and follows through with his belief the Pre-Claim Review should be paused, it would be great news for all home health providers especially those in Illinois.

Representative Price is an Orthopedic Surgeon.  He should be aware of the numerous and burdensome regulations imposed on home health agencies in the last few years.  He is not in favor making bundled payments programs mandatory.  He is expected to work with the new president on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act.


We will be addressing the latest changes in the Home Health Update portion of our New Directions in Home Care Seminar in January.
