Polsinelli's article provides a comprehensive review of the Department of Labor's final rule raising overtime exemption thresholds. According to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers must provide overtime pay to employees who work over 40 hours in a week unless they are exempt under FLSA regulations. To qualify for exemption, employees must meet specific criteria, one of which is earning a salary equal to or exceeding the thresholds established by the Department of Labor (DOL). If an employee falls short of the threshold salary, they are entitled to overtime pay, regardless of meeting other exemption criteria.

Noora Health has developed a program of “health companions” in a variety of types of healthcare settings (“Teaching Patients How to Heal,” The New York Times, April 14, 2024). The basis of these programs is that when medical information is properly communicated to patients and their families, complications of surgeries and illnesses are reduced. An added bonus is that acts of violence by frustrated family members against health care workers are reduced. Today, the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health held a hearing titled "Legislative Proposals to Increase Medicaid Access and Improve Program Integrity" that included discussions regarding the recently finalized Medicaid Access Rule that contains the 80/20 provision that HCAOA opposes. You can find HCAOA's statement in opposition to the 80/20 provision here. In coordination with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), HCAOA also submitted questions to the Committee prior to the hearing.
