title: Medicare program; conditions for Medicare payment--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
abstract: These rules are part of our ongoing project to assign a separate part of this chapter for each major aspect of the Medicare program. They also--Modify the requirements that a home health agency (HHA) must meet to be classified as a "sole community HHA". Clarify and simplify previous regulations (without substantive change) so that they are easier to understand and apply. Incorporate procedural changes that were put into effect to reduce paperwork and permit more efficient processing of Medicare claims.
