Impact Models and Comment Letter
Each year, HCHB performs a number of actions aimed at empowering industry advocacy. Homecare Homebase publishes Impact Models in HCHB Analytics four times a year. These models include several dashboards that help clients understand the potential impacts of the proposed and final rules for the hospice and home health service lines. In addition, each year, HCHB prepares a comment letter to CMS outlining the potential impacts of the Home Health Proposed rule. HCHB’s customer base represents 44% of the market share of home health Medicare patients, making this data a strong indicator of the access to care trend across the industry as a whole.
