The Pennsylvania Home Health Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for the operation and management of home health services for individuals with medical, physical, or age-related conditions across the state of Pennsylvania. This manual aligns with regulatory requirements set by the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH), the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It also incorporates applicable federal guidelines, including the Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484) and Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver programs. The manual outlines policies and procedures related to agency licensure, service eligibility, intake and assessment processes, individualized care planning, skilled nursing services, physical and occupational therapy, personal care services, medication management, health and safety standards, emergency protocols, staff qualifications and training, and documentation and reporting requirements. Home health services are designed to provide individuals with medically necessary care in the comfort of their own homes, promoting independence, reducing hospital readmissions, and preventing institutionalization. As both an operational and compliance resource, the Pennsylvania Home Health Agency Policy Manual ensures that providers meet all applicable state and federal regulations while delivering high-quality, person-centered care that supports the health, safety, and well-being of individuals in home and community-based settings.
