Discussions regarding the FY2027 long-term care fee revision are in full swing at the national council. The "Basic Perspectives (Draft)" for the revision were presented on September 30, and specific discussions for each service began in October. I often hear the following concerns from administrators and facility managers: I see the news, but I don't really understand what will change.
