On May 22, 2014, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced that it would begin reviewing a proposed rule revising the conditions of participation (CoPs) that home health agencies must meet to participate in the Medicare program. The home health CoPs have not been revised since 1989. The proposed rule was published in 1997, but was never finalized.
