Increasing Medicaid rates: A critical step to support home-based care
Association Press, North Salt Lake, UT; by Business Wire; 1/14/25
To address the growing challenges facing the healthcare system, the Homecare and Hospice Association of Utah (HHAU) calls for an urgent increase in Medicaid reimbursement rates for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, Private Duty Nursing (PDN), and Home Health. These critical services form the backbone of home-based care, enabling individuals to receive the medical attention and support they need in their homes, while saving tax dollars and alleviating strain on hospitals and long-term care facilities.
