Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Home Health Stabilization Act aims to protect Medicare payments to home health agencies by reversing significant payment cuts scheduled for 2026 and 2027. Under current Medicare rules, home health agencies were set to face a combined 9 percent payment reduction in 2026, threatening their ability to serve patients. This bill requires the federal government to fully offset those cuts for both years by adjusting Medicare payment rates upward, keeping payments stable based on 2025 levels. The bill affects home health agencies nationwide and the Medicare beneficiaries who depend on home-based care services. By delaying and reversing these payment adjustments for two years, the legislation aims to ensure home health agencies remain financially viable and continue providing services to seniors and disabled Americans covered by Medicare.
