This memorandum revises Appendix B of the SOM pursuant to new Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for HHA which were effective January 13, 2018: New Aspen tags for each condition and standard for the new CoPs are attached to this memorandum. Revised Level I and Level II standards, based on the new CoPs, are attached to this memorandum.
***Revised Attachments A & B to Reflect Removal of Tags G670, G700, G848 and G940; Addition of G956 and G984***
New HHA Conditions of Participation, which were effective January 13, 2018, no longer contain a definition for HHA Subunits.
The Subunits existing at the time of the effective date of the regulations will become freestanding HHAs unless they notify the State Survey Agency (SA) and the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) that they wish to become a Branch of the Parent.
