Healthcare shouldn’t be this complicated. Learn the terms that matter to make informed decisions about your health.
Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs) are federal regulations that healthcare organizations must comply with to receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. These conditions establish minimum health and safety standards for hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, and other healthcare facilities serving Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.
A Solace advocate can help you identify Medicare-certified facilities that meet Conditions of Participation requirements. If you experience care that doesn't meet these standards, your advocate can assist with filing complaints, documenting concerns, and working with facilities to address quality issues. They can also help you understand your rights as a Medicare beneficiary and ensure those rights are respected during your care.
