General Session12:30pm - 1:30pmThe 2024 election saw the reelection of Donald Trump and the republican party sweep control of both houses of Congress. This will result in changes in enforcement focus, promulgation of regulations and more. While this is one of the biggest changes that will impact the homecare industry, there are a number of other changes that will impact providers in 2025. These changes include the results of federal litigation challenging the DOL salary rule, the FTC non-compete rule and the FINCEN reporting rule. There were key changes in both the hospice and home health rules. There continues to be a signicant focus on home health and hospice fraud, which has led to signicantly increase scrutiny. We are also facing changes at the state level, including pushes to revise background check requirements, Medicaid Managed Care roll out and more. This session will review the legal and regulatory changes facing the industry in order to provide guidance to providers regarding what to expect in 2025.
