The Idaho Home Health Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating state-certified agencies delivering home health services to individuals with medical needs in Idaho. This manual aligns with the Idaho Administrative Code (IDAPA 16.03.10), Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver requirements, and federal regulations under the Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484). It ensures compliance with state and federal standards for providing skilled and non-skilled medical care in participants’ homes to promote health, recovery, and independence.
The manual is designed to guide agencies in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care that supports individuals in managing chronic conditions, recovering from illness or injury, and maintaining optimal health in the comfort of their homes.
