Better Home Wound Care: Medicare Payment Changes
This act simplifies access to specialized home wound care for Medicare beneficiaries. It modifies how disposable negative pressure wound therapy devices are billed, aiming to streamline the process for home health agencies and ensure a consistent payment rate for these devices.
Key points
Effective January 1, 2022, Medicare will pay a national, fixed rate for disposable home wound care devices, separate from visit or professional service costs.
Home health agencies can more easily bill for these devices using standard forms, without needing to separately track time spent on application.
The changes aim to improve access to modern wound care methods at home, potentially enhancing patient comfort and treatment effectiveness.
