The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) has been involved in discussions with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the House Ways and Means Committee to seek regulatory relief and recently received a copy of the letter to CMS identifying issues for all post-acute care providers.
The letter offers a sample of key issues and recommendations presented to the House Ways and Means Committee by post-acute care providers as a part of the committee’s Medicare Red Tape Relief Project initiative. This initiative seeks to reduce Medicare regulations and mandates, and improve health care for seniors.
