Section 1: Introduction
State Responsibilities
Facilities desiring to participate in either the Medicare or Medicaid programs must meet participation conditions for certification. State agencies certify to the DHHS whether providers satisfy, and continue to satisfy, their respective conditions of participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Secretary/DHHS certifies facilities requesting participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. States certify those facilities that request participation in the Medicaid program only.
