field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>ARLINGTON, Virginia—The American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare) announced the promotion of Laura Williard to senior vice president of payer relations, reflecting her leadership role in guiding the Association’s payer relations efforts.</p> <p>“When we brought Laura on board to launch our payer relations program, I was very confident we were making a smart hire—but her contributions have proven to be even more significant than I expected,” said Tom Ryan, AAHomecare president and CEO. “Laura has made AAHomecare a force in advocating for HME at the state level and has increased our industry’s capacity to influence reimbursement rates, regulations and access to care for patients served by Medicaid and a wide range of major non-Federal payers. Our payer relations work is an absolute success story, and Laura Williard is at the center of it.”</p> <p>Since joining AAHomecare in May 2016, Williard has focused on educating and connecting home medical equipment (HME) leaders to develop strategy and effective advocacy practices when engaging state legislators, Medicaid directors and administrators at managed care plans and private insurance payers.</p> <p>Working with HME state/regional association leaders and members of AAHomecare’s Payer Relations Council, Williard has been at the forefront of efforts to protect and bolster Medicaid reimbursement rates and allow suppliers to effectively care for patients across all payer categories. One of the most notable achievements under her leadership was an effort in 2019 to convince nearly 30 states to forgo or limit potential Medicaid rate cuts stemming from provisions in the CURES Act, using our guidance for implementing that legislation, instead. This advocacy work was the building block for relationships with Medicaid leadership across the country.</p> <p>“I am gratified by the trust and support that so many people have given me to build an effective payer relations program for our industry,” said Williard. “I have been fortunate to have such remarkable expertise, strategic thinking and passion for HME for me to draw on from our Payer Relations Council and other leaders in the industry. When you get to work with sharp people who have a strong sense of shared purpose, that’s a recipe for success.”</p> <p>We have some major challenges ahead of us for the remainder of 2024, and beyond,” continued Williard. "One thing we’ll be focusing on is making AAHomecare and the HME community a highly trusted source with payers on fair medical policy, ensuring access to care for DME/CRT [durable medical equipment/complex rehab technology] products, and increasing the visibility for the value our care delivers across the full spectrum of health care. Making an impact on Medicare Advantage policies for NIV [non-invasive ventilation] and CRT that are leading to unfair delays and denials of care is also a priority.” </p> <p>“My move from provider role to that of industry advocate was a natural fit for me,” Williard said. “I wanted to make a difference at a bigger level and fight the big fights for the industry as a whole and joining AAHomecare made that happen. I’m especially blessed that AAHomecare allowed me to bring on two accomplished HME pros, David Chandler and Alexis Ward, to join that fight, and to win.

The cost of child care is up 26% in the last decade and more than 200% over the past 30 years. For older adults and people with disabilities, long-term care costs are up 40% over the past decade. As a result, the cost of care is out of reach for many Americans. At the same time, care workers—who are disproportionately women of color—struggle to make ends meet, even as they care for others. Due to the low pay and the demanding nature of care work, turnover rates are high. In addition, at least 53 million Americans serve as family caregivers—including over 5 million caring for service members or veterans—and many face challenges due to the lack of support, training, and respite.</p> <h6><strong>The President’s Plan to Lower Costs for Families for Care</strong></h6> <p>Biden has made child care, long-term care, family caregiving and paid leave a core part of his domestic and economic agendas. He has referenced these issues in each of his State of the Union Addresses, and proposed transformative investments in each budget. Biden's most recent budget proposes the following:</p> <p><strong>Long-term Care and Family Caregiving</strong></p> <p>Biden said he is committed to protecting older adults’ and people with disabilities’ health and dignity. His plan would invest in expanding Medicaid home and community-based services to help a larger number of older adults and people with disabilities receive care in their home or community, and promote better opportunities for homecare workers and family caregivers. There has been substantial growth amongst the younger population under 65 with disabilities living in nursing homes. The percentage of individuals younger than 65 living in residential nursing facilities grew from 10.6 in 2000 to 16.2 in 2017. Biden said his investments will help ensure that they can receive care in their own homes and communities. Biden also proposed substantial investments for family caregivers serving our nation’s heroes, including stipends and support services for family caregivers of eligible veterans.</p> <h6><strong>The Biden-Harris Administration’s Historic Actions on Care</strong></h6> <p>Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said they have been committed to improving the quality of and access to care while supporting care workers and family caregivers. The President’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) delivered $37 billion across all 50 states for activities and investments that enhance, expand and strengthen home and community-based services and $145 million to help the National Family Caregiver Support Program deliver counseling, training and short-term relief to family and other informal care providers. In April 2023, Biden signed an Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers (Care EO) surrounded by people with disabilities, family caregivers, long-term care workers, early educators, veterans and aging advocates. Over the past year, agencies have made substantial progress implementing the Care EO. For example:  </p> <ul><li>HHS, through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, proposed rules to ensure that homecare workers get a bigger share of Medicaid payments; and establish minimum staffing standards in nursing homes receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding.</li> <li>The Department of Veterans Affairs launched a pilot program, known as the Virtual Psychotherapy Program for Caregivers, to provide mental health counseling services to family caregivers caring for our nation’s heroes. The program successfully completed its pilot phase and is now a permanent program. Since October 2023, the program has provided over 4,937 psychotherapy sessions to family caregivers.</li> </ul></div></div> </div> <span class="field field-name-uid field-formatter-author field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=user/2622" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">mherndon</span></span> <span class="field field-name-created field-formatter-timestamp field-type-created field-label-hidden">Fri, 04/12/2024 - 09:43</span> <div class="field field-node--field-subhead field-formatter-string field-name-field-subhead field-type-string field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item">A White House fact sheet highlighted the Biden-Harris Administration's plans for building on the progress of investments in homecare and long-term care.</div></div> </div> <div class="field field-node-field-topic field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-field-topic field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--home-health"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=home-health" hreflang="en">Home Health</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--legislation--regulation"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=legislation-regulation" hreflang="en">Legislation & Regulation</a></span> </div></div> </div> <div class="field field-node-field-tags field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-field-tags field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--biden-administration"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=tags/biden-administration" hreflang="en">Biden Administration</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--caregiver"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=tags/caregiver" hreflang="en">caregiver</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--president-biden"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=tags/president-biden" hreflang="en">President Biden</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--medicaid"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=tags/medicaid" hreflang="en">Medicaid</a></span> </div></div> </div> Fri, 12 Apr 2024 14:43:18 +0000 mherndon 60630 at https://www.homecaremag.com OATS, AARP Welcome New Partners to Senior Planet Program http://innovationawards.indiaoppi.com/?big=news/oats-aarp-welcome-new-partners-senior-planet-program <span class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden">OATS, AARP Welcome New Partners to Senior Planet Program</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field-node--body field-formatter-text-default field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>BROOKLYN, New York—Older Adult Technology Services (OATS) from AARP onboarded 14 new licensed partners to its <a href="#">“Senior Planet” licensing program</a>; a program that provides community-based organizations across the country with tools to help older adults access technology and use it to enhance their lives.
