ACTION: Final notice. AGENCY: This notice announces our decision to approve the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) for recognition as a national accreditation program for organizations that provide outpatient physical therapy and speech-language pathology services SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 22709 seeking to participate in the Medicare or Medicaid programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Under the Medicare program, eligible beneficiaries may receive outpatient physical therapy and speech language pathology covered services from a provider of services, a clinic, a rehabilitation agency, a public health agency, or by others under an arrangement with and under the supervision of such provider, clinic, rehabilitation agency, or public health agency (collectively, ‘‘organizations’’), provided certain requirements are met. Section 1861(p)(4) of the Social Security Act (the Act) establishes distinct criteria for organizations seeking approval to provide outpatient physical therapy and speech language pathology services. The regulations at 42 CFR part 485, subpart H specify, among other things, the conditions that an organization providing outpatient physical therapy and speech-language pathology services must meet to participate in the Medicare program. Regulations concerning provider agreements are located at 42 CFR part 489 (Provider Agreements and Supplier Approval) and those pertaining to survey and certification of facilities at 42 CFR part 488. Generally, in order to enter into a provider agreement, an organization offering outpatient physical therapy and speech language pathology services must first be certified by a State survey agency as complying with the conditions or requirements set forth in section 1861(p)(4) of the Act, and 42 CFR part 485, subpart H. Thereafter, the organization is subject to ongoing review by a State survey agency to determine whether it continues to meet the Medicare requirements. There is an alternative, however, to State compliance surveys. Accreditation by a nationally-recognized accreditation program can substitute for ongoing State review. Section 1865(a)(1) of the Act provides that, if a provider entity demonstrates through accreditation by an approved national accreditation organization (AO) that all applicable Medicare conditions are met or exceeded, we may ‘‘deem’’ that provider entity as having met the requirements. Accreditation by an accreditation organization is voluntary and is not required for Medicare E:\FR\FM\22APN1.SGM 22APN1
