SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
A healthcare provider may enter into
an agreement with Medicare to
participate in the program as a HHA
provided certain requirements are met.
Sections 1861(o) and 1891 of the Social
Security Act (the Act), establish distinct
criteria for facilities seeking designation
as a HHA. Regulations concerning
Medicare provider agreements in
general 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 part 488. The
regulations at part 484 specify the
specific conditions that a provider must
meet to participate in the Medicare
program as an HHA.
Generally, to enter into a Medicare
provider agreement, a facility must first
be certified as complying with the
conditions set forth in part 484 and
recommended to us for participation by
