Is Your Home Health or Hospice Organization Ready for the
Emergency Preparedness Compliance Deadline?

Effective November 16, 2017 home health, hospice and other Medicare and Medicaid-participating providers must meet extensive new emergency preparedness requirements, including the ability to demonstrate that they have:

  • Developed an emergency plan for a full range of emergencies specific to their agency’s location;
