CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 10, § 110.2
Payment Procedures for Terminated HHAs
Medicare regulations allow that payment may be made for home health services for up to
thirty days after a home health agency (HHA) terminates their Medicare provider
agreement. This payment may be made if the home health services are furnished under a
home health plan of care established before the effective date of the termination.
Medicare continues to make full period of care payments for periods which extend
beyond a provider’s termination date if the home health services are provided under a
plan of care established prior to that date and if the home health period of care ends
within the 30 day period.
