Home Health Final Rule: Expert Reactions and Real-World Strategies
Presented by John Rabbia, Mike Simione, and Anna Zimmerman
Description
Each year, the Home Health Final Rule brings a new round of regulatory and payment changes that directly affect how agencies operate, document, and get reimbursed. For 2026, these updates add fresh layers of complexity—but also create opportunities to strengthen efficiency and stability across your organization.
Join industry experts John Rabbia, PT, DPT, MS, MBA, COS-C, and Mike Simione, MBA, from SimiTree as they translate the latest CMS updates into plain language and share real-world strategies you can use to confidently guide your agency through the year ahead. You’ll hear clear explanations of what’s changing, what it means for your team, and the steps you can take now to stay compliant and proactive in 2026.
If the Home Health Final Rule is delayed due to the government shutdown, this webinar will be rescheduled to a new date once the ruling is released. All registered attendees will automatically be enrolled for the updated date.
