What Do the Recent Legal Victories Mean to the Home Care and Hospice Industry?

Over the past few months NAHC has won two major victories because of legal actions that it has initiated. The first helped do away with the “physician narrative” in the Face to Face regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services. The second invalidated a rule promulgated by the Department of Labor that would change the way overtime is computed for home health agencies and abolish the companionship and live-in exceptions to the Fair Labor Standards Law. These are huge victories that affect home care and hospice agencies’ internal operations. No victory is permanent and we have to keep up the fight both against the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor. Congress is standing by ready to introduce legislation and help us.

Objectives:

  • Review the history and progress of the lawsuits
  • Review and discuss in detail the implications for the home care provider in managing their business
  • Review and discuss in detail the implications for the home care provider in managing home health aides, companions and nurses

Panelists: William A. Dombi, Esq., Vice president for Law, NAHC; Maury Baskin, Esq., Lead Counsel in the case from the firm of Littler Mendelson; Phil Bongiorno, Executive Director, Home Care Association of America; Kevin Serafino, Senior Manager for Government Relations & Public Policy, International Franchise Association; Kelly Buckland, Executive Director, National Council on Independent Living
