Extending Hospital Care at Home Program Flexibility Until 2029.
This law extends the ability for certain patients to receive comprehensive acute hospital care in their own homes, rather than in a traditional facility, for an additional five years, until the end of 2029. This ensures that eligible Medicare beneficiaries continue to have access to this flexible and often preferred treatment option. The law also mandates new studies to compare care quality based on how patients enter the program.
Key points
The "Acute Hospital Care at Home" program flexibility is extended until the end of 2029, maintaining an alternative care option for eligible patients.
New government studies are required by 2028 to assess the quality, costs, and outcomes for patients admitted directly from the emergency room versus those transferred from an existing hospital stay.
