Title: CY 2024 Home Health Prospective Payment System Rate Update and Home Infusion Therapy Services Payment Update (CMS-1780)(Completion of a Section 610 Review) | |
Abstract:
This annual final rule updates the national, standardized 30-day period payment rate, national per-visit rates used to calculate low utilization payment adjustments (LUPAs) and outlier payments under the Medicare prospective payment system for home health agencies based on the applicable home health payment update percentage. Additionally, this rule updates payment rates for home infusion therapy services and makes changes to the Medicare enrollment requirements for hospices. These changes apply to services furnished on or after January 1, 2024. This rule also makes changes to how the separate payment for negative pressure wound therapy using a disposable device is made as required by section 4136 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 (CAA, 2023), and implements the permanent home intravenous immune globulin services (IVIG) benefit as required by section 4134 of the CAA, 2023. This rule addresses the scope of the Medicare Part B benefit for leg, arm, back, and neck braces under section 1861(s)(9) of the Social Security Act, and newer technology devices, as well as the implementation of the Medicare Part B benefit for lymphedema compression treatment items under section 1861(s)(2) of the Social Security Act. |
