WASHINGTON, D.C. – AAHomecare is debuting a new benefit for HME provider members coming in January 2025: the AAHomecare Payer Transparency Portal. 

What it means for HME provider members:
1) Nationwide payer insights: Tap into data from over 60 major commercial insurers to understand reimbursement trends and payment rates.
2) Competitive benchmarking: Compare your reimbursement rates to those of your peers and competitors.
3) Smarter negotiations: Leverage detailed data segmented by payer, geography, and billing codes to advocate for fair, competitive rates.

WHY IT MATTERS
CMS announced the Data Transparency in Coverage Final Rule that requires group health plans and commercial payers to disclose pricing information for covered items/services, but accessing this kind of massive data content on your own would be time-consuming and costly. The AAHomecare Payer Transparency Portal simplifies the process, providing you with the actionable insights you need to succeed—at no additional cost to HME provider members.

“AAHomecare has been working on this new benefit for over a year with a goal to help elevate the conversations providers are having on contract negotiation with payers,” explains Laura Williard, senior vice president of Payer Relations. “Being armed with this information can help you make more informed decisions with the published facts around reimbursement rates.”
