Will New Home Health Conditions Of Participation Finally See The Light Of Day?
Published on Fri Apr 04, 2014
Once again, home care providers can start a COP watch. The revised home health conditions of participation are on deck — again, said Pat Sevast with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services at the National Association for Home Care & Hospice’s March on Washington conference. “I’ve used this slide every year” for the last nine years, Sevast admitted in a March 24 CMS panel. But “it’s very true this year,” she insisted. The COPs “are further along than I have ever seen them.”
If they don’t get delayed again, expect to see the COPs in the Federal Register around June.
