Homecare Homebase (HCHB) released its 2026 Home Health Impact Model and Advocacy Dashboards within the HCHB Analytics platform to help home health agencies respond to CMS’s proposed 2026 payment changes, which include significant reimbursement cuts. These tools provide data-driven insights to support financial planning, operations, and advocacy, leveraging HCHB’s extensive Medicare data coverage (44% market share).
The Impact Model offers analysis of revenue-influencing metrics (e.g., payment rates, case-mix weights), regional results, and dominant impacts. Advocacy Dashboards highlight issues like declining referral conversion rates, growing cost-reimbursement gaps, and clinical group behavior, countering CMS’s assumptions. HCHB collaborates with industry advocates like the National Alliance for Care at Home to influence fair Medicare policies.
