NAHC creates affiliate to focus on Medicaid home care, hospice

The National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) last week announced creation of a new NAHC affiliate specifically focused on Medicaid home care and hospice issues. Medicaid home care and hospice programs are several times larger than comparable Medicare programs, NAHC reported. Bill Dombi, NAHC’s vice president for law, will manage the new affiliate, the National Council for Medicaid Home Care, until a permanent director is found.
