Short Statement:
While the number of Medicare participating HHA’s has slightly decreased over the last 3 years, the number of new HHA’s entering the program has almost doubled and the number of HHA patients in Medicare participating HHA’s has remained the same. There is one new burden added at 484.58 Discharge Planning. On September 30, 2019, CMS published a final rule Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Revisions to Requirements for Discharge Planning for Hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, and home Health Agencies, and Hospital and Critical Access Hospital Changes to Promote Innovation, Flexibility, and Improvement in Patient Care (51836 FR Vol. 84 No. 189). This new CoP requires HHA’s develop and implement an effective discharge planning process. This new requirement added over $207 million to the overall burden. The burden hours inceased from 4,462,295 to 7,394,066 from the last approval. Also, the hourly rate of most of the HHA staff noted in this package has significantly increased from 2017.
