The New York Home Health Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering skilled home health care services to individuals with acute, chronic, or rehabilitative medical needs throughout the State of New York. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), and complies with federal Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484), New York Medicaid program requirements, and applicable state licensure laws under Article 36 of the New York Public Health Law. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency licensure and certification, patient eligibility and referral processes, comprehensive clinical assessments, individualized care planning, skilled nursing services, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, home health aide services, medical social work, medication management, infection prevention and control, care coordination with physicians and other providers, staff licensure and continuing education, patient rights and protections, emergency preparedness, documentation and billing practices, incident reporting, and quality assurance. It emphasizes person-centered, evidence-based care delivered in the home, aimed at supporting recovery, preventing hospitalizations, and promoting independence in the least restrictive setting. This manual serves as a foundational resource for home health providers in New York, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and compassionate care that improves health outcomes and supports long-term wellness at home.
