- Summary
- The purpose of this memorandum is to notify regional office and state agency personnel of a modification in our policy related to the types of qualifying services provided directly by employees of a Medicare approved home health agency (HHA). We are revising our policy, at section 2180 of the State Operations Manual (SOM), to require that a Medicare approved HHA must provide at least one qualifying service (i.e., skilled nursing, physical therapy, speech language pathology, occupational therapy, medical social services, or home health aide services) directly and in its entirety by employees of the HHA. The other qualifying services and any additional services may be provided either directly or under arrangement.
