FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cindy Melanson, (410) 786–0310, or
Patricia Chmielewski, (410) 786–6899.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A healthcare provider may enter into
an agreement with Medicare to
participate in the program as an
outpatient physical therapy and speech
language pathology (OPT) provided
certain requirements are met. Section
1861(p)(4) of the Social Security Act
(the Act), establish distinct criteria for
facilities seeking designation as an OPT.
Regulations concerning Medicare
provider agreements are at 42 CFR part
489 and those pertaining to the survey
and certification for Medicare
participation of providers and certain
types of suppliers are at 42 CFR part
488. The regulations at 42 CFR part 485,
subpart H specify the specific
conditions that a provider must meet to
participate in the Medicare program as
an OPT.
Generally, to enter into a Medicare
provider agreement, a facility must first
be certified by a State Survey Agency as
complying with the conditions or
requirements set forth in part 485,
subpart H of our Medicare regulations.
Thereafter, the OPT is subject to
periodic surveys by a State Survey
Agency to determine whether it
continues to meet these conditions.
However, there is an alternative to
certification surveys by state agencies.
Accreditation by a national Medicare
accreditation program approved by the
Center for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) may substitute for both
initial and ongoing state agency review.
Section 1865(a)(1) of the Act provides
that, if the Secretary of the Department
of Health and Human Services (the
Secretary) finds that accreditation of a
provider entity by an approved national
accreditation organization meets or
exceeds all applicable Medicare
conditions or requirements, we may
‘‘deem’’ the provider entity to be in
compliance. Accreditation by an
accrediting organization is voluntary
and is not required for Medicare
participation.
Part 488, subpart A, implements the
provisions of section 1865 of the Act
and requires that a national accrediting
organization applying for approval of its
Medicare accreditation program must
provide CMS with reasonable assurance
that its accredited provider entities meet
requirements that are at least as
stringent as the Medicare conditions.
Our regulations concerning the approval
of accrediting organizations are set forth
at §§ 488.4 and 488.8(d)(3). The
regulations at § 488.8(d)(3) require an
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
accrediting organization to reapply for
continued approval of its Medicare
accreditation program every 6 years or
sooner as determined by the CMS. The
American Association for Accreditation
of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities
(AAAASF’s) current term of approval as
a Medicare accreditation program for
OPTs expires April 22, 2015.
II. Application Approval Process
Section 1865(a)(3)(A) of the Act
provides us 210 days after the date of
receipt of a complete application, with
any documentation necessary to make
the determination, to complete our
survey activities and application
process. Within 60 days of receipt of an
organization’s complete application, we
must publish a notice that identifies the
national accrediting body making the
request, describes the nature of the
request, and provide at least a 30-day
public comment period. At the end of
the 210-day period, we must publish a
notice announcing our approval or
denial of an application.
III. Provisions of the Proposed Notice
On November 21, 2014, we published
a proposed notice in the Federal
Register (79 FR 69481) entitled
‘‘Application from the American
Association for Accreditation of
Ambulatory Surgery Facilities for
Continued Approval of its Accreditation
Program for Organizations that Provide
Outpatient Physical Therapy and
Speech Language Pathology Services’’
announcing AAAASF’s request for
continued approval of its Medicare OPT
accreditation program. In that notice, we
detailed our evaluation criteria. Under
section 1865(a)(2) of the Act and in our
regulations at § 488.4 and § 488.8, we
conducted a review of AAAASF’s
Medicare OPT accreditation application
in accordance with the criteria specified
by our regulations, which include, but
are not limited to the following:
• An onsite administrative review of
AAAASF’s: (1) Corporate policies; (2)
financial and human resources available
to accomplish the proposed surveys; (3)
procedures for training, monitoring, and
evaluation of its OPT surveyors; (4)
ability to investigate and respond
appropriately to complaints against
accredited OPTs; and (5) survey review
and decision-making process for
accreditation.
• The comparison of AAAASF’s
Medicare accreditation program
standards to our current Medicare OPT
Conditions of Participation (CoPs).
• A documentation review of
AAAASF’s survey process to:
++ Determine the composition of the
survey team, surveyor qualifications,
