WASHINGTON - AAHomecare joined 50 other major health care groups in a Feb. 28 letter to Congressional leaders seeking to extend the current moratorium on the 2% Medicare sequester to the end of the public health emergency. Without further action, the sequester will resume at a 1% cut for April through June of this year and increase to 2% starting July 1, 2022. A continued pause to the sequester would be welcome relief for HME suppliers and other health care providers who are facing rising product and operational costs, says the association. In late 2021, Congress passed legislation to pause the cuts through March 2022.
