Great News! The long-awaited bill for Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act (S.296/H.R.2150), part of the CARES Act (H.R.748), permanently authorizes PAs and NPs to order home health services for Medicare patients (in a manner consistent with state law). This bill allows Nurse Practitioners to place and sign home care orders.
Welcome Nurse Practitioners
