Ashley Johnson+FollowCMS Shakes Up Nursing Home Payments?Big changes could be coming for nursing homes! CMS is pushing for value-based care and wants to make payments the same across different care settings. That means nursing homes, home health, and rehab facilities might all get paid the same for similar patient needs. Sounds fair, but it could mean less money for nursing homes and more for home health. Plus, CMS is looking to loosen rules on who can own or expand nursing homes. This could totally shake up the industry! #HealthcareNews #NursingHomes #Medicare #ValueBasedCare #CMS #Health1611Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowSNFs Get More Time for 855A Updates!CMS just gave skilled nursing facilities an extension—now you’ve got until August 1, 2025, to update your 855A forms with all the new ownership and management details.
