Provider Enrollment Moratoria

Are there any active moratoria?

On May 13, 2026, CMS implemented a temporary nationwide enrollment moratorium on Home Health Agencies (HHAs) and Hospices.

The moratorium applies to initial applications. This includes non-exempt changes in majority ownership (CIMOs) under 42 CFR 424.550(b) (see 424.550(b) for information about what qualifies as a CIMO). Any such application submitted by HHAs and Hospices after the implementation of the moratorium will be denied. The moratorium will remain in effect for 6 months.

The moratorium may be extended in 6-month increments, if CMS deems it necessary.
