🚨The Alliance responded to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Hospice Wage Index proposed rule.

While a 2.4% payment increase is a step in the right direction, more must be done to ensure that high-quality providers have the resources they need to operate in this demanding environment.

The Alliance also appreciates the increased oversight and transparency proposals, but calls on CMS to carefully implement these measures to avoid unintended consequences for patients and providers.

“The overwhelming majority of providers serve their communities with integrity. Any federal response must be carefully targeted to protect patients and preserve access to high-quality care from providers who have earned the trust of the families they serve.”

Amid heightened national attention on Medicare home health and hospice fraud in California, the Alliance and leading organizations urged the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to ensure that legitimate providers will not be swept up with fraudulent organizations.
