Recommendation Details
Text of Recommendation
We recommended that CMS consider reducing the need for clinical judgment when processing claims under the post-acute-care transfer policy by taking the necessary actions, including seeking legislative authority if necessary, to deem any home health service within 3 days of discharge to be “related” (which would have saved an estimated $46.6 million during our 2-year audit period).
