On Friday, November 1, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released its calendar year (CY) 2025 home health final rule which finalizes an increase in payments to home health providers of 0.5%, or $85 million, compared to CY 2024. However, CMS also finalized a permanent payment adjustment of -1.975% to rebalance the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) and make it budget neutral. This is the third straight year of payment cuts to home health providers, which raises concerns about the impact on the home health industry and access to patient care.
