ACHC cleared ahead of new requirement

CARY, N.C. - CMS has recognized the Accreditation Commission for Health Care as a national accrediting organization for home infusion therapy providers through 2024. The decision gives ACHC deeming authority to conduct surveys that meet or exceed Medicare requirements, including new reimbursement rules mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act. The act requires that, beginning Jan. 1, home infusion therapy suppliers seeking Medicare reimbursement must be accredited by an approved accredited like ACHC. ACHC Home Infusion Therapy Accreditation looks at the education, assessment, medication review and development of the plan of care provided by a nurse or healthcare professional during a home visit. Educational resources, including crosswalks that detail all standards changes and FAQs, are available to help organizations meet the new requirements.
