Did you know that Medicare, Medicaid, and supplemental insurance often do not cover all the care our patients and caregivers need?
And yet, ongoing cuts to Medicare and Medicaid Services will mean fewer caregivers, longer waits, and even more patients turned away. Since 2019, over 1,000 home health agencies have closed, and more than one-third of people referred to home care never receive it because of care shortages driven by underfunding. And more will follow if these cuts take effect. |
