Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare applauds CMS for preventing PCRD

The Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare today praised the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) for preventing the planned implementation of a Pre-Claim Review Demonstration (PCRD) in Florida, which would have applied latest, mandatory regulatory requirements on all home health agencies (HHAs) operating across the state on the day of April 1. CMS was also appreciated by the Partnership for pausing the application of the demonstration program in Illinois for at least thirty days, where it was originally implemented in the month of August 2016.
