Summary

The Home Health Stabilization Act of 2025 amends the Social Security Act to ensure stability in Medicare payments to home health agencies for 2026 and 2027. It delays certain payment adjustments and sets a special payment rate based on the 2025 rate.

Sec. 2, Ensuring beneficiary access to Medicare home health services: For 2026 and 2027, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must add a positive adjustment to the standard prospective payment amount to fully offset a -4.059 percent Permanent Adjustment Factor and a -5.0 percent Temporary Adjustment Factor that were applied to the 2026 payment rate in a proposed rule. The national, standardized 30-day period payment rate for 2026 and 2027 must be based on the 2025 rate, with the positive adjustment and updates from other provisions, but cannot be further adjusted by certain other clauses. When determining actual expenditures for 2026 and 2027, the Secretary must exclude the additional amounts paid due to these special rules, and no offsetting adjustments shall be made for those amounts. The Secretary may implement these rules by program instruction. Nothing in this section signifies congressional approval or disapproval of the methodology used in a 2022 final rule.
