Home Care Industry Update
June 26, 2024Your invitation to join Polsinelli, The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), and Home Care Association of America (HCAOA) for a summary of the most significant legal developments and 2024 updates impacting your agency and strategies for complying with the same while still running a successful home care business.
We will be discussing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) new access to care rules which, among other things, require at least 80% of all Medicaid payments (under both Fee For Service and Managed Care delivery systems) for certain HCBS services be used towards direct care worker compensation, and the call to action for provider advocacy.
We will also cover the status of the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Final Rule banning employee non-competes and the new salary hikes for the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) overtime exemptions and their impact to the home care industry.
Finally, we will explore the intricacies of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and how home care agencies should assess their compliance obligations. This includes determining qualification as an Applicable Large Employer (ALE), managing offer of coverage requirements for caregivers with fluctuating hours, ensuring the provision of the necessary type of coverage, as well as fulfilling applicable reporting responsibilities.
