CHANGES TO TEXT
Attachment III, Home Health
Agency Qualitative Interview
Guide, Additional Home Health
Agency Market Characteristics:
New text:
32. Does your home health
agency care for patients referred
by nurse practitioners?

EXPLANATION
Addition was made in response to
a comment received during the
60-day comment period.
This change will not increase
burden because the interview will
be limited to one hour.

[If yes:] Have you faced delays
in adjusting medication or other
treatment plans due to current
CMS requirements that nurse
practitioners obtain physician
approval to any treatment
changes for home health
patients?
