CMS has issued an update for its survey guidance around home health agencies, adding details surveyors should look for in your acceptance-
to-service policy. Requirements at §484.105(i) have been in effect since January 2025, but CMS held off on updating the interpretive
guidance for surveyors until July 15, 2026. The changes were effective immediately.
 
The attached fact sheet includes the new G tags and interpretive guidance for surveyors.
