The Braff Group expects home health and hospice mergers and acquisitions to climb in volume and valuation through 2027, according to a new Braff Report.
The authors point to the hospice payment increase for 2027 (2.3%) as well as the recommended increase for home health providers (2.4%). They also note the end of permanent payment adjustments for home health agencies.
“Many industry insiders believe that CMS may have concluded that it has finally battered home health enough, paving the way for greater payment predictability,” the report notes.
