October 29, 2013
On October 29, 2013, the federal Department of Health and Human Services Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule establishing conditions of participation (CoPs) that community mental health centers (CMHCs) must meet in order to participate in the Medicare program. These CoPs focus on the care provided to the client, establish requirements for staff and provider operations, and encourage clients to participate in their care plan and treatment. The new CoPs enable CMS to survey CMHCs for compliance with health and safety requirements. These regulations are effective on October 29, 2014.
