Deemed Status Survey Option for Medicare Certification - Home Health or Hospice
The Joint Commission is designated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as an approved accreditor for home health and hospice agencies seeking Medicare certification, and can provide accreditation and Medicare certification simultaneously through its survey process. CMS, not The Joint Commission, grants the final decision for Medicare certification.
