Effective date: This rule is effective on July 1, 2016. Compliance date: Based on public comments, we recognize that there may be operational and budgetary implications with this rule and that states and providers may need time to implement this provision. To ensure that states and providers are implementing the rule appropriately, we are delaying compliance with this rule for up to one year if legislature has met in that year, otherwise 2 years. Exception for State Legislation.—In the case of a State plan under title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq. ), which the Secretary determines requires state legislation in order for the respective plan to meet one or more additional requirements imposed by this rule, the respective state shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of this rule solely on the basis of its failure to meet such an additional requirement before the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the close of the first regular session of the state legislature that begins after the date of enactment of this rule. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a state that has a 2-year legislative session, each year of the session shall be considered to be a separate regular session of the state legislature. States will be expected to be in compliance by July 1, 2017 or July 1, 2018 based on legislative timeframes as described above.
This final rule revises the Medicaid home health service definition consistent with section 6407 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the Affordable Care Act) and section 504 of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) to add requirements that, for home health services, physicians document, and, for certain medical equipment, physicians or certain authorized non-physician practitioners (NPP) document the occurrence of a face-to-face encounter (including through the use of telehealth) with the Medicaid eligible beneficiary within reasonable timeframes. This rule also aligns the timeframes for the face-to-face encounter with similar regulatory requirements for Medicare home health services. In addition, this rule amends the definitions of medical supplies, equipment, and appliances. We expect minimal impact with the implementation of section 6407 of the Affordable Care Act and section 504 of MACRA. We recognize that states may have budgetary implications as a result of the amended definitions of medical supplies, equipment and appliances. Specifically, this rule may expand coverage of medical supplies, equipment and appliances under the home health benefit. There will be items that had previously only been offered under certain sections of the Act that will now be covered under the home health benefit.
