National Association for Home Care and Hospice | Community Health

The National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) is an organization that represents home care and hospice providers in the United States. Medicare and Medicaid are the primary payers for these services. The Homecare for Seniors Act would allow seniors to use health savings accounts for qualified homecare services. The National Institute on Aging recommends home care as a way to reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient outcomes. The World Health Organization recommends home care as a way to enhance quality of life. NAHC is working to promote the use of technology, such as telehealth platforms, to improve patient care and reduce costs, as recommended by the American Telemedicine Association.
