Continuing the Conversation: CAHSAH Virtual Listening Forum

CAHSAH Virtual Listening Forum: Continuing the Conversation

During this session, CAHSAH leadership will provide a brief update on what we heard during the Listening Tour and open the floor for live discussion. We will also review several important issues currently affecting the industry, including:

• Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Enforcement – What increased scrutiny means for compliant providers and how the industry can address bad actors while protecting access to care.

• Private Duty Nursing (PDN) Reimbursement Rates – Ongoing challenges with Medi-Cal rates and their impact on access for medically fragile patients.

• Scope of Practice & Respiratory Care Board Issues – Emerging concerns related to vocational nurses and respiratory care responsibilities in the home setting.

• Workforce Shortages – Staffing challenges affecting nurses, aides, and caregivers across home-based care.

• Regulatory Complexity & Compliance Burden – Navigating oversight from multiple agencies and increasing documentation requirements.

• Payment & Reimbursement Pressures – Policy and payment changes affecting home health and hospice sustainability.

This forum is an opportunity to ask questions, share what is keeping you up at night, and help shape CAHSAH’s advocacy, education, and policy priorities moving forward.
