Description

Join us for a critical live webinar designed specifically for Medicare-certified home health providers who are ready to speak out against the devastating cuts proposed in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Calendar Year (CY) 2026 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HHPPS) Proposed Rule. As it stands, the proposal would cut Medicare payments to home health agencies by an estimated $1.135 billion — a net reduction of 6.4% compared to 2025.

With billions in funding reductions threatening the future of home health services, now is the time to act.

This session will guide you step-by-step through using our Legislative Action Center, a powerful tool that simplifies the process of submitting impactful, personalized comments to CMS. You’ll learn how to effectively share your story, advocate for your patients and staff, and influence policymakers before the public comment window closes.

Whether you're new to advocacy or a seasoned voice for the industry, this webinar will equip you with the tools and confidence to make your comments count.
