Medicare to End "Improve or You're Out" Standard for Coverage of Skilled Services
In a major change in Medicare policy, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has agreed to end Medicare's long-standing practice of requiring that beneficiaries with chronic conditions and disabilities show a likelihood of improvement in order to receive coverage of skilled care and therapy services, working in a skilled nursing facility or at home. The policy shift will affect beneficiaries with conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, heart disease, and stroke.
