Annual Membership Dues Structure for: Agency Certified Home Health
Our certified agencies are billed based on a tiered fee schedule, determined by their revenue from Medicare/Medicaid-certified ("skilled") care services from the agency's previous fiscal year. This tier schedule is posted on our website for easy reference.
1. Limited Membership:
An agency with no revenue in Massachusetts during the previous fiscal year qualifies for the "Limited Membership Category." This also applies to out-of-state agencies considering operating in Massachusetts but not yet doing so. All Certified Agency Limited Memberships are $2,000 annually. Please note that agencies with a Limited Membership are not granted voting rights.
2. Medicare/Medicaid Certified Revenue Dues (from Section 2a):
