Special Edition: Lessons from the ACA applicable to the Big Beautiful Bill

“One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) passed both houses of Congress by the thinnest of margins and was signed into law by President Trump last Thursday. It is the most significant legislation for U.S. healthcare since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed into law by President Obama March 23, 2010. …

It’s too soon to know what the results will be for OBBBA. Many fear it will cause irreparable damage to the safety net—public health programs, rural and safety net hospitals, nursing homes and others that serve lower-income and disabled populations. Some see it as a necessary reset asserting waste, fraud and abuse in healthcare has been allowed to fester, harming those in bona-fide need and keeping resources in healthcare better used elsewhere.

What’s known for sure is that opinions about the OBBBA will change as it’s implemented over the next four years. How states address work requirements and implementation will be central to its success.  And executive orders, administrative actions, court decisions and market conditions will alter its trajectory—especially economic conditions at home.”

CMS Releases Home Health PPS Proposed Rule

Member News

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released a proposed rule updating the home health (HH) prospective payment system (PPS) for calendar year (CY) 2026.

Highlights of the proposed rule include:

  • A 6% rate cut from the current $2,057.35 to $1,933.61 after the net 2.4%  market basket update, an 8.3% cut due to budget neutrality requirements of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) and a 0.5% decrease related to outlier payments and other adjustments. Providers who fail to submit quality data are subject to an additional 2% point reduction.
  • A higher fixed-dollar loss ratio of 0.46, up from 0.35, expected to decrease outlier payments by 0.5% of total payments. The CMS proposes to maintain the existing 0.8 loss-sharing ratio.
  • Recalibration of relative weights for the PDGM using CY 2024 data.
  • Removing the face-to-face encounter restriction. Currently the CMS allows nonphysician practitioners to perform the required face-to-face encounter regardless of whether they were the certifying practitioner or previously cared for the patient. However, if a physician performed the face-to-face encounter, they were required to be the certifying physician or have previously cared for the patient. The CMS proposes to remove this restriction, allowing physicians to perform the face-to-face encounter regardless of whether they are the certifying physician or previously cared for the patient.
  • Removing the measure that assesses the percentage of patients receiving COVID-19 vaccinations from the HH quality reporting program (QRP). The proposal also requests information on changing the data submission deadline for HH QRP data, advancing digital quality measures and new measure concepts for the HH QRP.
  • Adding four new measures to the HH value-based purchasing program—Medicare Spending per Beneficiary and three measures assessing patient functional improvement in dressing and bathing.
  • New and revised provider enrollment provisions to reduce improper payments, including retroactive revocation of a provider’s Medicare enrollment such as if the beneficiary attest that the provider did not provide the service that was claimed. The CMS also proposed to deactivate an enrolled physician or practitioner’s billing privileges if they have not ordered or certified services for 12 consecutive months.
  • The CMS is collecting feedback on Executive Order 14192, “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation”.

The MHA will provide members with an estimated impact analysis in the next several weeks and encourages members to contact Vickie Kunz regarding issues identified by Aug. 22. The CMS will accept comments on the HH proposed rule until Sept. 2. Members with questions should contact Vickie Kunz at the MHA.

The Hourly Workforce in Healthcare Deserves Attention

“Two government reports this week point to a familiar theme: healthcare employment is the backbone of the U.S. civilian workforce …

Arguably, their questions aren’t unique to hourly workers in healthcare: lower- and low-middle income employee cohorts in other industries feel the same. What’s unique to healthcare is the context: new technologies, new regulations, new transparency requirements, new ways of staffing and constant pressure to do more with less. Tension between workers and leaders in provider organizations is palpable—arguably more widespread than other industries in the economy. And human resource functions in these settings are understaffed and underfunded despite the mounting urgency of workforce issues since the pandemic. …

The hourly workforce in healthcare is important to its future. But most are worried about how to pay their bills at home and do a job with an uncertain future. These issues deserve attention.”

The Summer of 2025 for U.S. Healthcare: What Organizations should Expect

“Last Thursday, the Make America Healthy Again Commission released its 68-page report “Making America’s Children Healthy Again Assessment” featuring familiar themes—the inadequacy of attention to chronic disease by the health system, the “over-medicalization” of patient care vis a vis prescription medicines et al, the contamination of the food-supply by harmful ingredients, and more. HHS Secretary Kennedy, EPA Administrator Zeldin and Agriculture Secretary Rollins pledged war on the corporate healthcare system ‘that has failed the public’ and an all-of-government approach to remedies for burgeoning chronic care needs. …

As MAHA promotes its agenda, Congress passes a budget and MAGA advances its anti-establishment agenda vis a vis DOGE et al, healthcare operators will be in limbo. The dust will settle somewhat this summer, but longer-term bets will be modified for most organizations as compliance risks change, state responsibilities expand, capital markets react and Campaign 2026 unfolds.

And in most households, concern about the affordability of medical care will elevate as federal and state funding cuts force higher out of pocket costs on consumers and demand for lower prices.

The summer will be busy for everyone in healthcare.”

CMS Issues New Guidance on Hospital Price Transparency Requirements

Member News

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released updated guidance May 22 related to hospital price transparency requirements under Executive Order 14221, “Making America Healthy Again by Empowering Patients with Clear, Accurate and Actionable Healthcare Pricing Information”.

The new guidance introduces significant changes to existing reporting obligations. Hospitals are now required to include actual dollar amounts for all payer-specific standard charges in their machine-readable files (MRFs), including negotiated rates that were previously allowed to be expressed as percentages or algorithms.

Hospitals may no longer use placeholder values such as “999999999” for estimated allowed amounts. Instead, they must calculate and report the average dollar amount historically received for each item or service using data from electronic remittance advice (835 transactions) from the 12 months prior to the MRF’s posting. If insufficient data exists to calculate the average, hospitals must provide a reasonable estimate along with documentation explaining the methodology used in the MRF notes section.

The MHA encourages hospitals to review their current transparency policies and assess any gaps in their publicly available MRFs.

  • Revising facility-level adjustment factors:
    • Rural adjustment from 1.17 to 1.18
    • Teaching adjustment from 0.5150 to 0.7981

Trump Healthcare 2.0: The Laundry List of Disruption Targets

“The incoming Trump administration is committed to cutting government waste and reducing regulation. That pledge puts the U.S. healthcare industry in the crosshairs for budget cuts and heightened attention. It’s also a high-profile industry that’s ripe for disruption.

Healthcare is the economy’s biggest private-sector employer (18.3 million) and accounts for 17.3% of the GDP and 28% of total federal spending. Since 2008, annual increases for prescription drugs, hospitals and physician services have increased faster than the “All Items” index widening every year. From 2012 to 2022, the average annual growth rate was 4.2% for physician services, 4.4% for hospital care, 4.7% for prescription drugs and 5.0% for insurers who experienced the highest volatility of the four. …

The laundry list for Trump Healthcare 2.0 disruption is long. The public expects changes. Responding in business-as-usual fashion—especially thru well-worn trade association advocacy pronouncements– is short-sighted. It’s time to take a fresh look starting with a mirror.”
