About Home Health Brief

The home health news that matters, in five minutes.

Home Health Brief covers Medicare home health, hospice, home care and the wider healthcare rules that shape them. We read the CMS transmittals, MLN Matters articles, Federal Register notices and Medicare Administrative Contractor bulletins so agency owners, billers, clinicians and families don't have to, and we tell you which contractor and which states each change touches.

What you'll find here

• Updates: plain-language explainers on new CMS and contractor instructions, each linked to the primary document.
• Medicare jurisdictions tracker: a running log of home health and hospice bulletins by contractor, starting with Palmetto GBA, Jurisdiction M, which serves Illinois.
