Modern Healthcare: The CMS wants to revive a demonstration project that tried to prevent home health agencies from receiving improper payments.
The agency on Tuesday said it will rework a home health services demonstration that launched in 2016 and was suspended last year following complaints of reduced access to care.
"Home health has been a consistent high area of risk in Medicare," CMS Administrator Seema Verma said in a statement. "The (demonstration) offers new flexibility and choice for providers and implements risk-based changes that reward providers for being compliant with Medicare requirements."
