How to Become Medicare-Certified as a Home Health Agency
Medicare certification for a Home Health Agency is a 9–14 month process gated by state licensure, accreditation, and a CMS survey.
CMS requires every new Home Health Agency to obtain state licensure, choose an accreditor, complete a survey, and provide services to a minimum of 3 patients (with at least 7 completed visits) before billing Medicare.
