Straight answers about working with a CMS, CHAP, ACHC, or Joint Commission consultant.
A CMS survey consultant prepares Medicare- and Medicaid-certified home health and home care agencies for state and federal surveys. This includes reviewing compliance with the CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs), performing mock surveys, correcting deficiencies, and training staff so the agency passes its survey. AHC & ACS, LLC provides nationwide CMS survey consulting for home health agencies.
A CHAP consultant guides agencies through Community Health Accreditation Partner standards and surveys. An ACHC consultant prepares agencies for Accreditation Commission for Health Care standards, applications, and site visits. A Joint Commission consultant helps agencies meet The Joint Commission's standards and tracer methodology. AHC & ACS, LLC is experienced with all three CMS-recognized accrediting bodies and helps agencies choose the best fit.
Accreditation is not legally required, but it is often required by CMS, contracts, and state regulations for agencies serving Medicare and Medicaid patients. A home care agency consultant dramatically reduces the risk of a failed survey by ensuring documentation, policies, and staff training meet every standard before the surveyor arrives. AHC & ACS has maintained a 100% client success rate across 200+ agencies.
AHC & ACS, LLC serves non-medical home care agencies and home health agencies nationwide from its headquarters in Gahanna, Ohio.
