Medicaid Home Health Cuts Hurting Consumers

The State budget enacted in late March 2011 included extensive changes in how certified home health agencies (CHHAs) are paid by Medicaid for home health services.   Some of these changes are effective immediately - on April 1, 2011 - and will likely result in reduced reimbursement for CHHA services.   See changes described here Fundamental Changes to NYS Medicaid in 2011 State Budget  -- and information about CHHA services generally posted at Medicaid Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA) Services.   None of these changes requires or allows immediate reduction or termination of CHHA services.
