This proposed rule would set forth an update to the Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) rates, including: The national standardized 60-day episode rates, the national per-visit rates, the non-routine medical supply (NRS) conversion factors, and the low utilization payment amount (LUPA) add-on payment amounts, under the Medicare prospective payment system for HHAs effective January 1, 2011. This rule also proposes to update the wage index used under the HH PPS and, in accordance with The Affordable Care Act of 2010 (The Affordable Care Act), Public Law 111-148, to update the HH PPS outlier policy. In addition, this rule proposes changes to the home health agency (HHA) capitalization requirements. This rule further proposes to add clarifying language to the ``skilled services'' section. Finally, this rule incorporates new legislative requirements regarding face-to-face encounters with providers related to home health and hospice care.
