Benchmark: CY 2026 Home Health PPS and Medicare Policy Course

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on the CY 2026 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Final Rule and related Medicare/Medicaid policy updates.

This quick self-check helps you gauge your grasp of why the rule changed, how it affects payment, quality reporting, provider enrollment, DMEPOS accreditation and competitive bidding, and what it means for day-to-day operations.

  • Clarify the intent behind payment adjustments, HH QRP changes, and the expanded HHVBP model.
  • Spot the biggest operational shifts: OASIS all-payer submission, annual DMEPOS reaccreditation, and RID competitive bidding.
  • Weigh trade-offs like efficiency vs. equity, compliance vs. flexibility, and access vs. cost containment.
  • Identify where your organization may face risk (revocations, penalties) and where to focus readiness efforts.

What you’ll get: a realistic sense of whether you already see the implications of the rule—or if the course can save you time, reduce risk, and sharpen your implementation plan.

If several questions feel uncertain or you find yourself choosing between plausible but conflicting options, the course will provide the frameworks, specifics, and step-by-step actions to move from awareness to execution.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
