Instructions
In order for health care providers to participate in federally funded government programs, they are required to adhere to certain requirements. The requirements may include Medicare and Medicaid Conditions of Participation, state Medicaid rules, and state health department requirements. For this assignment, you will write a paper of 4 pages in length, including the reference page:
Conduct a search. You may use the library, internet search or other academic sources.
Identify two key players at the federal or state level that determine requirements for participation in government funded health care programs.
Write a paper describing at least one requirement for each key player, and explain why the requirement is important for each key player.
Use APA Formatting and appropriate grammar/spelling.
Example
Under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospice Conditions of Participation, there is a requirement for an Initial and Comprehensive Assessment of the Patient. The reason for this requirement is to ensure that all patients are truly eligible for hospice care. (There are any instances where individuals who are not eligible for hospice care are, in fact, placed in hospice due to a higher reimbursement rate.)
