and growth is entering a new era — whether the industry is ready or not...

A nationwide Medicare enrollment moratorium. Rising regulatory scrutiny. Increasing pressure on access and capacity.

The result isn’t subtle: the traditional expansion playbook is breaking down.

As Eric Scharber puts it, “The focus right now should be on growth within existing markets and strategic acquisition opportunities...”

❌ Growth isn’t slowing.
✔️ It’s changing shape.

Following the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ imposed moratorium on new Medicare hospice enrollments Wednesday, many home health and hospice providers are anticipating a period of stalled industry growth and curtailed access to home health and hospice.

05/13/2026

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

CMS has issued a 6-month nationwide moratorium on new Medicare enrollments for hospice and home health agencies — effective immediately.

This is a major shift for the industry.

What changes overnight:
• De novo agency growth effectively comes to a halt
• Expansion strategies pivot sharply toward acquisitions
• CHOW transactions face increased scrutiny
• Operators must focus on growth within existing footprints

The winners in this environment will be those who move fastest with a clear strategic growth plan — anchored in strengthening core markets, disciplined M&A, sharper payer strategy, and operational optimization.

We’ll be releasing a deeper breakdown soon on what this means for providers and how to respond strategically.
