Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton forced home-based care providers in the impacted areas to up their games, to go even further to care for their clients and patients.
Helene and Milton had devastating impacts on the Southeast. The former resulted in loss of more than 200 lives, and the latter is considered one of the worst storms to reach Florida in recent years.
As a response to Hurricane Helene, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rolled out a number of flexibilities to help relieve home health care providers operating in areas impacted by the storm. These flexibilities included extended deadlines for quality reporting and patient assessment requirements, and temporarily forgoing some of the geographical requirements for telehealth services.
