Summary

Hospice and home health care; licensure. Amends hospice licensure standards to allow inspections of facilities that are exempt from licensure to the extent necessary to ensure public health and safety, and allows the Commissioner of Health to cause any hospice or home care organization facility that fails such inspection to be relicensed. The bill requires home care organizations approved for payments for home health or personal care services by the Department of Medical Assistance Services prior to July 1, 2010, and not exempt from licensure to apply for licensure within 180 days of the effective date of the act and provides that such organizations shall be exempt from licensure until July 1, 2012, or until such time as the Commissioner has acted upon their application for licensure, whichever occurs first. This bill also prohibits new home care organizations from being licensed until July 1, 2012, but allows the Commissioner of Health to issue a request for and accept applications for: (i) the establishment of home care organizations in federally designated Health Professional Shortage Areas or (ii) home care organizations approved for payments for home health or personal care services by the Department of Medical Assistance Services prior to July 1, 2010.
