Our 2024 Legislative Session Final Report is Out!

Our final report on the 2024 Legislative Session is out!

This session was another busy one for VNAs of Vermont.

This year VNAs of Vermont was successful in advocating for a Medicaid rate increase for the skilled home health services many Vermonters and their family members depend on, and key legislation that will give Vermont home health and hospice agencies new flexibilities to keep staff safe while they’re working hard to care for people in their homes.

We also worked with coalition partners to secure a rate increase for home and community-based services including home-based Choices for Care direct services provided by home health agencies.

For a full list of the bills we worked on this legislative session read our 2024 Final Report.

We want to thank legislators and the Governor for supporting home health and long-term care this session, and for giving our member agencies a new flexibility to protect staff from unsafe situations.

Because the Legislature is set to return on June 17th to take up vetoed legislation some information is still subject to change.

As always, we will update you on any developments impacting Vermont's home health and hospice providers.
