How do I report a change to the service our home health agency provides directly?
You can report the change in services being provided directly and under contract on your application for renewal of your home health agency license. Also, if you are a Medicare or Medicaid certified home health agency, CMS will only accept changes in the direct services with the recertification survey report. You will need to have the change in direct service made to the CMS 1572 form with the surveyor as part of the recertification survey from either your accrediting organization or AHCA. Otherwise, no changes in direct service will be accepted.
