Medicare Program; Home Health Prospective Payment System Rate Update for Calendar Year 2012

The Medicare Program has updated the home health prospective payment system rates for 2012, applying a 1.4% increase to reflect a 1% reduction in the market basket update factor, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act. The updates aim to reduce incentives for unnecessary therapy services and provide more flexibility for face-to-face encounters with providers.
