As an accrediting body, The Joint Commission can approve or deny a home infusion therapy provider’s credentials seeking CMS reimbursement for nursing care. The organization was granted authority to do so through Dec. 15, 2029, according to a Feb. 7 news release.
Home infusion therapy providers must be accredited by a CMS designated authority like The Joint Commission to be eligible for reimbursements.
Those that are not accredited already have to “participate in an unannounced home care survey and achieve a decision of ‘accredited’ prior to submitting requests for reimbursement,” according to The Joint Commission.
