Bill Dombi on 50 Years of Fighting for Home Care | Maxwell TEC
0:58

Maxwell TEC is a proud sponsor of Last Visit First with Tom Maxwell, a podcast bringing leaders, innovators, and caregivers together to talk honestly about the choices shaping the future of home health and hospice. 

For nearly five decades, Bill Dombi has shaped almost every major law, regulation, and legal battle behind home health and hospice care in America. As former President and CEO of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) and now senior counsel at Arnall Golden Gregory, Bill has argued in front of Congress, CMS, and the courts to protect access to care at home.


In this episode, Bill sits down with Tom Maxwell to reveal the untold history of the industry, including the landmark Duggan v. Bowen lawsuit that rewrote Medicare home health coverage, the last-minute decision that almost kept home health out of Medicare entirely, and the uphill battle to create the Medicare Hospice Benefit in 1983.
