Additionally, 1895(b)(3)(D)(iii) of the Act requires the Secretary, at a time and in a manner determined appropriate, through notice and comment rulemaking, to provide for one or more temporary increases or decreases, based on retrospective behavior, to the payment amount for a unit of home health services for applicable years, on a prospective basis, to offset for such increases or decreases in estimated aggregate expenditures, as determined under section 1895(b)(3)(D)(i) of the Act. One clinician could make six visits in a relatively short amount of time, while another may have to travel hundreds of miles to get to six different visits, Griffin explained.

Additionally, a few commenters requested to use the proposed 2.7 percent increase as a floor and urged CMS to not make any downward adjustments to the market basket in the final rule. This commenter recommended that no RAP/NOA be considered late until day 6 of the 30-day period. Commenters stated that the effects of the COVID-19 PHE, in tandem with a new home health payment system, has brought about changes in patient mix, decreased utilization of home health services, and changing demands from patients in need of care. The average hourly pay for RNs in all settings was $ 37.24 , the equivalent of $ 77,460 for a full-time year, according to the 2019 government statistics. Finally, several commenters recommended that CMS consider implementing a 5 percent cap, similar to that which we proposed for CY 2021, for years beyond the implementation of the revised OMB delineations.
