Abstract: CMS has developed home health templates to assist with documenting a home health face-to-face examination. CMS believes the use of the progress note templates may help assist physicians when documenting the home health (HH) face-to-face encounter for Medicare purposes. The use of these templates will be completely voluntary and is intended only to assist physicians and other practitioners who order home health services in documenting the required elements in their progress notes.
