Modification of HCFA 700 and 701 -Reply

[Guest guest]

My understanding from our fiscal intermediary is that the 700/701 forms

have never been required. You might do well to check with yours to

learn what other formats are acceptable.

At this home health agency, we do our part B plans of care on the

same form that we use for part A (HCFA 485), with a 30-day

certification period, and the homebound certification crossed out when

appropriate. This has allowed us to stick with just one process form

POCs.

Hope that's useful.
