Better Home Wound Care: Medicare Payment Changes
This act modifies how Medicare pays for disposable negative pressure wound therapy devices used at home. The goal is to simplify access to these devices and streamline billing for home health agencies, potentially improving the quality of care for patients in their own homes.
Key points
Effective January 1, 2022, Medicare will pay a national rate for the wound therapy device itself, not for professional services or home visits.
Payment calculation rules are simplified, removing complex adjustments and making billing easier for home health agencies.
Home health agencies can bill for these devices under their standard payment system, without needing to separately track time spent applying them.
