CMS Compliance Handbook for
Home Health Agencies
2
Home Health Agency (HHA) is a key player in
effective care delivery of patients with chron-
ic conditions. The new home health Condi-
tions of Participation (CoPs) finalized in
January 2017 centers on how HHAs qualify to
participate in Medicare and Medicaid by re-
structuring the requirements. The conditions
emphasize on the care coordination, patient
rights by following a structured approach.
The new rule takes effect July 13, 2017
with a proposed delay to January 13,
2018.
This gives agencies only a few months from
today to implement changes to their policies,
procedures and practices necessary to com-
ply with the revisions.
CoPs focuses on organizational structure, pa-
tient-centered care, and oversight of staff to
ensure patients are safely and effectively re-
ceiving services. This completes the efficient
care delivery cycle from self-assessment of
the Home Health Agencies (HHA) to quality
of care delivered.
CoPs – a patient centered, data-
driven, outcome oriented process
that promotes high quality patient
care at all times through efficient
and lower-cost care!
HHAs must meet the Medicare HH CoPs in
order to participate in the Medicare program.
Agencies that fail to meet any of the HH
CoPs are at risk, at a minimum, for the impo-
sition of a number of sanctions and poten-
tially at risk for program termination.
This presents an opportunity for EHR vendors
to support their providers by easing the HHA
workflow through incorporation of integrated
communication system for efficient care co-
ordination.
SPUR OF CHANGES
CMS has used the following guidelines to
assist in development of the new HHA CoPs:
 Develop continuous, integrated care pro-
cess across home health services
 Use a patient-centered, interdisciplinary
approach that recognizes the contribu-
tions of various skilled professionals and
their interactions to meet patient needs
 Stress quality improvements by incorpo-
rating an outcome-oriented, data-driven,
quality assessment and performance im-
provement program specific to each HHA
 Eliminate the focus on administrative pro-
cess requirements that lack adequate
consensus or evidence of being indicative
of achieving clinical outcomes or prevent-
ing harmful outcomes for patients
 Safeguard patient rights along with HHAs
flexible approach to care delivery. The
new requirements improve performance
results for HHAs, helping them achieve
desired outcomes for patients, and in-
creasing patient satisfaction.

Home Health Compliance Handbook

  • 1. 1 CMS Compliance Handbook for Home Health Agencies
  • 2. 2 Home Health Agency (HHA) is a key player in effective care delivery of patients with chron- ic conditions. The new home health Condi- tions of Participation (CoPs) finalized in January 2017 centers on how HHAs qualify to participate in Medicare and Medicaid by re- structuring the requirements. The conditions emphasize on the care coordination, patient rights by following a structured approach. The new rule takes effect July 13, 2017 with a proposed delay to January 13, 2018. This gives agencies only a few months from today to implement changes to their policies, procedures and practices necessary to com- ply with the revisions. CoPs focuses on organizational structure, pa- tient-centered care, and oversight of staff to ensure patients are safely and effectively re- ceiving services. This completes the efficient care delivery cycle from self-assessment of the Home Health Agencies (HHA) to quality of care delivered. CoPs – a patient centered, data- driven, outcome oriented process that promotes high quality patient care at all times through efficient and lower-cost care! HHAs must meet the Medicare HH CoPs in order to participate in the Medicare program. Agencies that fail to meet any of the HH CoPs are at risk, at a minimum, for the impo- sition of a number of sanctions and poten- tially at risk for program termination. This presents an opportunity for EHR vendors to support their providers by easing the HHA workflow through incorporation of integrated communication system for efficient care co- ordination. SPUR OF CHANGES CMS has used the following guidelines to assist in development of the new HHA CoPs:  Develop continuous, integrated care pro- cess across home health services  Use a patient-centered, interdisciplinary approach that recognizes the contribu- tions of various skilled professionals and their interactions to meet patient needs  Stress quality improvements by incorpo- rating an outcome-oriented, data-driven, quality assessment and performance im- provement program specific to each HHA  Eliminate the focus on administrative pro- cess requirements that lack adequate consensus or evidence of being indicative of achieving clinical outcomes or prevent- ing harmful outcomes for patients  Safeguard patient rights along with HHAs flexible approach to care delivery. The new requirements improve performance results for HHAs, helping them achieve desired outcomes for patients, and in- creasing patient satisfaction. Overview
