Please review the following licensing alerts before applying for a license: Home Care Agency Applicants: On May 13, 2026, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a six (6) month moratorium for new enrollment. If you are seeking licensure as a Home Care Agency to qualify for certification as a CMS provider, please take note of this important information, prior to applying. Information regarding the Home Health moratorium can be found in the Federal Register - Home Health. Hospice Agencies: On May 13, 2026, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a six (6) month moratorium for new enrollment. As the State Agency, DC Health will not process initial certification requests for Hospice Agencies to qualify for enrollment as a CMS provider until the moratorium is lifted. Information regarding the Hospice moratorium can be found in the Federal Register - Hospice. Community Residential Facilities (CRFs) for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities: In 2018, the Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) determined that the District had reached capacity for Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID). Accordingly, effective June 1, 2018, DHCF commenced its denial of all new applications submitted by ICF/IIDs for enrollment as a District of Columbia Medicaid provider. Therefore, DC Health will refrain from issuing licenses for Community Residential Facilities (CRFs) for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities until the moratorium has been lifted. This moratorium is published in the DC Register here. |
