This bill changes how Medicare pays home health agencies in 2026 and 2027. It requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to add a positive payment adjustment that fully cancels out a -4.059 percent permanent cut and a -5.0 percent temporary cut proposed for 2026 in a July 2, 2025 rule. For those two years, the base 30-day payment rate would be set starting from the 2025 rate and could not be further adjusted under certain existing rules. The extra amounts paid would not be counted when calculating actual spending, and no later adjustments could be made to make up for them.
