Part 2: Payment Changes: What to Expect for Medicare Home Health Payments in 2026

One of the biggest parts of this rule is the expected Medicare Home Health payment cut in 2026. CMS is projecting a total decrease in payments to home health agencies by about 6.4% compared to 2025. This means agencies will likely receive less money overall.

Here’s how the changes break down:

  • There will be a 2.4% increase in some payment updates.
  • But this will be outweighed by a 3.7% cut related to behavioral adjustments aimed at correcting past overpayments.
  • An additional temporary cut of 4.6% will start clawing back estimated overpayments.
  • Finally, smaller cuts come from changes in how much they pay for very expensive cases (called outliers).

There is still time to catch up on the first session of this series! Register for the full series today and receive access to the Part 1 recording.
