I. Background
Under the Medicare program, eligible
beneficiaries may receive covered
services in a hospice provided certain
requirements are met by the hospice.
Sections 1861(dd) of the Social Security
Act (the Act) establishes distinct criteria
for facilities seeking designation as a
hospice. Regulations concerning
provider agreements are at 42 CFR part
489 and those pertaining to activities
relating to the survey and certification
of facilities are at 42 CFR part 488. The
regulations at 42 CFR part 418, specify
the conditions that a hospice must meet
in order to participate in the Medicare
program, the scope of covered services
and the conditions for Medicare
payment for hospices.
Generally, to enter into an agreement,
a hospice must first be certified by a
State survey agency as complying with
the conditions or requirements set forth
in part 418. Thereafter, the hospice is
subject to regular surveys by a State
survey agency to determine whether it
continues to meet these requirements.
However, there is an alternative to
surveys by state agencies. Section
1865(a)(1) of the Act provides that, if a
provider entity demonstrates through
accreditation by an approved national
accrediting organization that all
applicable Medicare conditions are met
or exceeded, we will deem those
provider entities as having met the
requirements. Accreditation by an
accrediting organization is voluntary
and is not required for Medicare
participation.
If an accrediting organization is
recognized by the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services as having standards for
accreditation that meet or exceed
Medicare requirements, any provider
entity accredited by the national
accrediting body’s approved program
would be deemed to meet the Medicare
conditions. A national accrediting
organization applying for deeming
authority under part 488, subpart A,
must provide the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) with
reasonable assurance that the
