ACTION: Final notice. AGENCY: This final notice announces our decision to approve the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) for continued recognition as a national accrediting organization for Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) that wish to participate in the Medicare or Medicaid programs. DATES: This final notice is effective March 23, 2016 through March 23, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Monda Shaver, (410) 786–3410, or Patricia Chmielewski, (410) 786–6899. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Background A healthcare provider may enter into an agreement with Medicare to participate in the program as a Rural Health Clinic (RHC) provided certain requirements are met. Sections 1861(aa)(1) and 1905(l)(1) of the Social Security Act (the Act), establish distinct criteria for facilities seeking designation as a RHC. 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 491, subpart A specify the conditions that a provider must meet to participate in the Medicare program as a RHC. 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 491, subpart A, of our Medicare regulations. Thereafter, the RHC 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 nationally recognized Medicare accreditation program approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) may substitute for both initial and ongoing state review.
