For entities such as CHHAs, LTHHCPs and/or MCOs that contract with LHCSAs, it is required to obtain on a quarterly basis written certification from LHCSAs. The forms are on a prospective basis and the form due before June 1st is for the time period of June 1, 2016 through August 31, 2016. Please note Attachment A-4 is the designated form and it states for the time period of March 1, 2016.
