Home Health Line, a widely-distributed industry newsletter, has published notices to hospitals and physicians on Face-to-Face Requirement changes created by the Home Care Alliance of MA as a resource for home health agencies across the country.
The notices on the rule changes as of January 1, 2015 were distributed in a previous blog post and were created by HCA staff to help educate partners in the hospital and physician community about their responsibilities to ensure Medicare beneficiaries receive the necessary home health services.
The notices are also posted below and Home Health Line notes in a disclaimer that “The Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts created such a note to clear up confusion about face-to-face requirements, although it believes agencies and physicians still need more guidance from CMS.”
