Physician Care Plan Oversight In 1995 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), formerly Health Care
Financing Administration (HCFA), originated codes that would allow physicians to
be reimbursed for their oversight of home health and hospice patients with
complex, multidisciplinary needs. These new codes went into effect on January 1,
2001, and authorize physicians to bill for certifying and re-certifying home
health plans of care.
