Moving Health Home responded to the House Ways & Means Health Subcommittee Hearing on After the Hospital: Ensuring Access to Quality Post-Acute Care.

MHH outlined five-year waiver for a demonstration of skilled nursing facility services available at home, which will expand Medicare’s post-acute options, free up hospital’s limited facility capacity, reduce stress on family caregivers, and allow patients to recover faster at home.

In the statement, Krista Drobac, executive director of Moving Health Home, shared “According to a recent survey, 85 percent of adults say it should be a high priority of the federal government to expand Medicaid coverage for at-home health care.” In closing, she shared that not only patients but their caregivers prefer this approach, citing “A case-study found that 96% of caregivers found in-home care less stressful than previous health care experience.”
