Addresses concerns about the rapid growth in the number of certified home health agencies (HHA) certified to care for Medicare beneficiaries & the effectiveness of the survey & certification process. Becoming a Medicare-certified HHA is relatively easy -- probably too easy, given the large number of problem agencies identified in various recent studies. This report determines how the Health Care Financing Admin.

Also looks at HCFA's process for decertifying HHAs.
