855a Medicare Application

Please call us 24/7 at 888-850-6932 for more information.

The 855a Medicare Application is the first step to Medicare Accreditation

Before a home health care business can achieve Medicare Accreditation, the home health care business must first complete the 855a Medicare Application.

Our home health care business consultants will complete your 855a Medicare Application as part of our process.

Once your home health care business is licensed (if required in your state), the next step towards achieving Medicare Accreditation is to complete the 855a Medicare Application.

How long will it take for the 855a Medicare Application to be approved?

Once your home health care business submits the 855a Medicare Application to CMS, the 855a Medicare Application approval time should take no longer than 4 months.

There are capitalization requirements as well as 3rd party Medicare Accreditation requirements your home health care business should be aware of prior to submitting the 855a Medicare Application.

Our home health care consultants will educate you and provide peace of mind by completing your 855a Medicare Application for you.

855a Medicare Application and Medicare Accreditation for Home Health Care

The 855a Medicare Application is only the beginning.

Our home health care consultants will enroll you with the CHAP Accrediting Body and will visit your home health care business onsite to walk you and your staff through a mock Medicare Accreditation audit.

Becoming Medicare Accredited involves far more than the completion of the 855a Medicare Application.

Your home health care business will need to meet IROF, staff, and committee requirements as well as prove to a 3rd party accrediting body that the home health care business is qualified to become a Medicare Accredited home health care business.
