[WAIVER]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022HHAs can perform Medicare-covered initial assessments and determine patients\u2019 homebound status remotely or by record review. [WAIVER]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022HHA nurses do not need to conduct on-site visit every two weeks. [WAIVER]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022Occupational Therapists can perform initial and comprehensive assessment for all patients, regardless of whether occupationaltherapy is the service that establishes eligibility, [WAIVER]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022HHAs can request accelerated payments for home health episodes that have not completed yet. MACs can auto-cancel these requests after a brief period of time, but CMS is allowing them to extend these cancellations in light of the PHE since it may take the HHAs longer to submit their claims. [WAIVER]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022CMS is working to implement Section 3708 of the Cares Act which will allow NP, PAs, Certified Nurse Midwives, and Clinical NurseSpecialists as practitioners who can certify home bound status and order home health in Medicare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022CMS is also evaluating whether additional rulemaking is needed to implement Section 3707 of the Cares Act which allows additional use of technology for home health during the PHE (policy at least partially addressed in IFC 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CMS Example Scenarios: Patient\u2019s Home &amp; Home Health Agencies (HHAs)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HHAs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HHAs can furnish care in the beneficiaries home during the PHE. In-person care can be supplemented by virtual care. Under the CARES Act, implemented via CMS\u2019 second IFC, NPs, clinical nurse specialists, PAs, and certified nurse midwives can now certify homebound status and order home health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HHAs + Physician Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HHAs can work under auxiliary personnel arrangements with physician practices. For example, HHAs could work with a physician to infuse chemotherapy in the patient\u2019s home. Under this scenario, a physician would be required to supervise the home health nurse (can use audio\/video technology) and would bill for covered professional services under the physician fee schedule. The physician practice would pay the HHA directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HHAs + Hospital Outpatient (OPDs)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HHAs can partner with hospital outpatient departments to furnish covered hospital items and services in the home. The hospital\u2019s clinical staff would need to supervise the home health nurse (can use audio\/video technology) and would bill for the services under the outpatient prospective payment system. The hospital would pay the HHA directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patients Home<\/strong>+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19
