Home Health

As the first accrediting body in home healthcare, CHAP is the recognized leader in Home Health Accreditation, with more Medicare-certified home health providers than any other accrediting body recognized by CMS.

CHAP’s guidance, education, and resources are crucial to providers as they deliver the best patient care.

G-tags are built in to make the standards themselves easy to cross reference to CMS regulations or state operations manuals. Clear Evidence Guidelines tell you how the CHAP site visitor is going to evaluate compliance, giving you peace of mind.  

Telehealth and remote monitoring are included in the standards, without an add-on expense, enabling you to set up your program accordingly.  

Our standards and site visits focus on patient care and the connection to the Conditions of Participation. Unlike other standards – they start at patient care, and work towards policies and procedures.  You can expect an educational and collaborative survey experience.

When you submit readiness, we host a Final Readiness Call for your organization helping you prepare with confidence. We will walk through your readiness checklist to lower your stress and create a great survey experience.

Deemed or Non-Deemed, the choice is yours.
