Requires hospitals to give patients who are likely to need home health services, post‑hospital extended care (such as skilled nursing care), or hospice care clear information about those options before discharge. For hospice, the information must specifically cover Medicare‑participating programs that serve the patient’s local area.
Takes effect January 1, 2026. The goal is to help patients and families make informed choices and plan safe transitions of care, without changing eligibility or creating new funding streams.
