Moving Health Home (MHH) seeks your endorsement of the joint letter below urging Congress to extend the Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) waiver program as part of the next government funding package on February 18th.The AHCAH waiver was developed and implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and offers Medicare beneficiaries the flexibility to receive acute-level treatment in their own homes.
Many seniors needing acute-level care, and their caregivers, have been able to receive services at home during the pandemic. Temporarily extending the program will allow for additional data collection and lessons learned, as well as the time necessary for a legislative process to establish a permanent Acute Care at Home program for Medicare patients.
