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
