Reimbursement starts before the first claim — with a clean PECOS record, current revalidations, and correct ownership and reassignment data. A missed revalidation, an unreported managing-employee change, or a stalled enrollment doesn’t just risk a denial; it deactivates billing and converts weeks of delivered care into write-offs. Right now the stakes are higher still: a nationwide Medicare enrollment moratorium freezes new home health and hospice agencies and restricts certain changes of ownership.

Regulatory context
Enrollment has become enforcement’s front door. CMS imposed a nationwide six-month moratorium on new home-health and hospice Medicare enrollment on May 13, 2026 (FR Doc. 2026-09717), restricting certain changes in majority ownership with it — and a separate DMEPOS supplier moratorium has run since February 27, 2026 (91 FR 9855). For everyone already enrolled, revalidations and accurate PECOS data are what keep billing privileges alive: a missed deadline deactivates billing and converts delivered care into write-offs.
The throughline: enrollment, revalidation, and CHOW timing are now strategic decisions made against an active integrity regime — not administrative tasks.
Questions
Can you still enroll a new home health or hospice agency under the moratorium?
The nationwide moratorium freezes new Medicare enrollment for home health and hospice and restricts certain majority-ownership changes. We assess where your situation falls, structure what can move now, and stage the rest so you’re filing-ready the day it lifts.
A revalidation deadline is close — or already missed. What now?
Case file open immediately. We reconcile the PECOS record, build the submission, and file ahead of the deadline; if billing has already deactivated, we work the reactivation and document the gap.
Can you structure a change of ownership (CHOW) that survives review?
Yes. We structure and file CHOW transactions to hold under current ownership-change restrictions, and protect billing continuity so delivered care keeps getting paid through the transition.
What does this cost?
Enrollment work scoped to entity and provider count; revalidation and CHOW scoped to the transaction. Scoping memo in week one before any meaningful commitment.
How quickly can you start?
Standard intake within five business days. Time-sensitive revalidations and deactivations, faster.
