2014-10-09; vol. 79 # 196 - Thursday, October 9, 2014 79 FR 61164 - Medicare and Medicaid Program: Conditions of Participation for Home Health Agencies
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Proposed rule. To be assured consideration, comments must be received at one of the addresses provided below, no later than 5 p.m. on December 8, 2014. 42 CFR Parts 409, 410, 418, 440, 484, 485 and 488 Summary This proposed rule would revise the current conditions of participation (CoPs) that home health agencies (HHAs) must meet in order to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The proposed requirements would focus on the care delivered to patients by home health agencies, reflect an interdisciplinary view of patient care, allow home health agencies greater flexibility in meeting quality care standards, and eliminate unnecessary procedural requirements. These changes are an integral part of our overall effort to achieve broad-based, measurable improvements in the quality of care furnished through the Medicare and Medicaid programs, while at the same time eliminating unnecessary procedural burdens on providers.
