LeadingAge is gathering member feedback to strengthen national advocacy efforts on issues that directly affect providers across the aging services continuum. Two current priorities highlight why member engagement is critical:
Medicare Advantage
LeadingAge seeks input from members on a range of challenges, including payment, contract terms, and provider incentives. This work will support advocacy for the bipartisan Prompt and Fair Pay Act (HR 4059). To continue the conversation, LeadingAge Ohio members are encouraged to join our Managed Care Solutions Network meeting on September 11, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Inpatient to Outpatient Shift of Surgical Procedures
The proposed 2026 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) rule would move certain surgical procedures currently classified as inpatient to outpatient under Medicare Fee-for-Service. This shift could significantly impact both skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and home health agencies (HHAs). Public comments on the proposed rule are due September 15, 2025. LeadingAge Ohio members are invited to discuss these potential impacts during the Nursing Home Network Meeting on August 26, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Your participation ensures Ohio providers’ experiences and concerns are represented in national advocacy efforts.
