Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Keeps the program that lets hospitals treat some patients at home, instead of inside the hospital, through September 30, 2030
- Orders a national study by September 30, 2028 to compare home care and hospital care on safety, costs, results, and who gets access
- Allows the Health and Human Services Secretary to require hospitals to share data through reports, surveys, or medical records
- Provides $2.5 million to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to run the study, paid for by a small cut to a Medicare fund
- Could mean fewer nights in the hospital for some patients, but only if your hospital offers it and your condition is safe to treat at home
