AAHomecare Works with MNCHA to Bolster DC Medicaid Rates
WASHINGTON, DC – Earlier this year, AAHomecare joined the Maryland-National Capitol Area Homecare Association (MNCHA) in meeting with the District of Columbia Health Care Finance Office to advocate for sustainable reimbursement rates for DC HME providers. Thanks to the persistent follow-up by MNCHA leadership, DCHF has announced that competitive-bid items would be reimbursed at 100% of bid rates beginning on October 1, 2017. These items were previously being reimbursed at 80% of the schedule.
