Leadingage

LeadingAge has urged the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to make permanent the waiver of the three-day requirement and Congress to end the requirement entirely.

LeadingAge also estimated that weekly costs for facilities with 100 employees would be nearly $20,000.

LeadingAge also wants Congress to include a 5 percent increase in the Medicare reimbursement rates for both nursing homes and home care.
