Just in Case: What to do if Congress Doesn’t Extend the AHCAH Waiver in 2024

Recorded December 19th, 2024

The Hospital at Home Users Group, in partnership with the American Academy of Home Care Medicine, is pleased to present our latest webinar for hospital and system leaders interested in learning about the opportunities and challenges associated with providing acute care in the home. 

Focused education with lawmakers and regulators during the last year has made the needed AHCaH waiver extension by year’s end possible (some have said probable). Still, the extension’s prospects in the coming lame duck session are not certain.  

In the absence of an extension (or even a delay), it will not be business-as-usual for most HaH programs.  With this contingency in mind, health systems and hospitals are considering one “just-in-case” alternative–restructuring their programs under an ambulatory payment model. 

Tune into this webinar to learn more about what this option might look like and understand key considerations and potential administrative, billing, clinical and other changes that HaH programs may need to make.
