Walden Introduces Home Health Care Bill

Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden has introduced a bill he says will protect access to home health care services for seniors.  The Hood River Republican says the “Securing Access Via Excellence for (SAVE) Medicare Home Health Act” would stop the Obama Administration’s proposed 14 percent payment cut to home health care providers.   The SAVE Medicare Home Health Act repeals the Obamacare cuts in 2015-2017.  Instead, savings are achieved by establishing a value-based purchasing program to better incentivize home healthcare agencies to deliver high-quality care to patients and reduce hospital readmission rates.
