Mind-Boggling Takeaways from My Discussion with Kalon Mitchell 1- MEDPAC's Evaluation Method: Using ONLY Medicare profit margins to gauge the home health industry's financial viability is like using just alcohol sales profit margins to evaluate the entire Bar & Grill industry's financial viability. The profit margins aren't identical but the cascading effects are similar. 2- Reported Financial Loss Across HHA's in 2022 : Shockingly, around 38% of Home Health Agencies (HHAs) reported a loss in the 2022 cost report data. You can download the 2022 HHA cost report file Kalon shared on his website to dive into the details yourself.
