With CMS's proposed payment cuts in the CY 2026 Home Health Rule making waves across the industry, I'm curious how others in the private duty space are thinking about the potential downstream effects.
-
Could these cuts shift demand toward private pay earlier in the care journey?
-
Do you see agencies adjusting rates, staffing, or service offerings in response?
-
For those in hybrid models (Medicare + private duty), how are you preparing?
Would love to hear your insights-whether you see challenges, opportunities, or both. This feels like a moment where shared perspective could really help us think ahead.
