HR 5142 United States House · 119th Congress

Home Health Stabilization Act of 2025

HR 5142, the Home Health Stabilization Act of 2025, prevents payment cuts to Medicare home health providers for 2026 and 2027. It requires the Medicare Secretary to adjust payment rates to fully offset two planned negative adjustments (-4.059% and -5.0%) that would have reduced payments under the 2026 rate update rule. This ensures home health agencies receive full reimbursement for services during those years without further reductions based on prior payment formulas. The bill directly affects home health providers who rely on Medicare payments for patient care.
