Representative Carol Miller (R-WV) and five colleagues, Representatives Jared Golden (D-ME), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), Don Davis (D-NC), Aaron Bean (R-FL), and Joe Morelle (D-NY) reintroduced the Hospice Recertification Flexibility Act on February  27.

The bill would allow the hospice face-to-face recertification to take place via telehealth through December 31, 2027, and establish a claims code to track telehealth recertification. Telehealth flexibilities for hospice are currently authorized through March 31, 2025.

LeadingAge strongly supports the continuation of this flexibility to support hospice providers in meeting the needs of patients.
