CMS recently received an application from Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP) for continued approval of its hospice accreditation program.
 
On June 14, CMS posted a proposed notice that acknowledges receipt of the application.
 
CHAP wants “continued recognition as a national accrediting organization for hospices that wish to participate in the Medicare or Medicaid programs,” according to CMS.
