Description

The CY 2027 Home Health Final Rule brings a different kind of year for agencies. Payment pressure continues, but the bigger story may be what's happening beyond the rate update. Stricter provider enrollment oversight, recalibrated PDGM case-mix weights and thresholds, and tighter quality reporting timelines all have real implications for how your agency documents, submits data, and protects its revenue.

Join industry experts John Rabbia, PT, DPT, MS, MBA, COS-C, and Mike Simione, MBA, from SimiTree as they translate the final rule into plain language. You'll hear what changed from the proposed rule, what it means for your clinical, operations, and revenue cycle teams, and the steps you can take now to start 2027 compliant, prepared, and confident.
