There are many issues and challenges today that face home health care and hospice providers, including an ongoing staffing shortage further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in telemedicine compensability and its future now that states are looking to make changes, new Medicare regulations, and the Biden Administration’s Build Back Better plan that is making its way through legislation and its impact on the industry, just to name a few. To keep abreast of these and other critical issues and to get the benefit of industry advocacy and representation, it’s important for home health care and hospice providers to participate in the associations that serve them.
