Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services relating to "Medicare Program; Calendar Year (CY) 2025 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Rate Update; HH Quality Reporting Program Requirements; HH Value-Based Purchasing Expanded Model Requirements; Home Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) Items and Services Rate Update; and Other Medicare Policies".
Summary
H.J.Res. 58 is a binding joint resolution that would disapprove and nullify a Medicare rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in November 2024. The rule establishes payment rates for 2025 home health services, wound therapy devices, and intravenous immune globulin treatments. It also sets new reporting and participation requirements for home health providers and long-term care facilities, including requirements for facilities to report data on acute respiratory illnesses.
If this resolution passes both chambers of Congress and is signed by the President, it would eliminate these 2025 payment rates and requirements. This could affect Medicare beneficiaries who receive home health services, as well as the providers and suppliers who deliver these services. The resolution is currently in the House and has been referred to committee for consideration. As a binding joint resolution, it would have the force of law if enacted, unlike non-binding resolutions.
