Homecare Telehealth Waiver Application

To: State Licensed Class A and Class B Homecare Agencies From: Cheryl McMahon The Health Facilities Division has created waiver applications for agencies to meet specified observation, supervision, and evaluation requirements through telehealth methods rather than in-person or on-site. Additionally, the waiver allows certain therapy services to be provided via interactive audiovisual connections. The waiver application can be found here: Homecare Telehealth Waiver Due to the need to respond to the COVID-1 pandemic and protect both healthcare workers and homecare clients, the division will expedite this waiver process. Successful waiver applications will receive approval within 2 days after submission. Division staff will contact facilities with any questions. CDPHE continues to explore additional options to ease the burden for providers during this public health emergency. We will provide updates as they become available. For questions or assistance with the application process, contact Cheryl McMahon (cheryl.mcmahon@state.co.us). Cheryl McMahon Branch Chief Home and Community Facilities Branch Chief
