Federal deemed status
In order for a health care organization to participate in and receive federal payment from Medicare or Medicaid programs, one of the requirements is that a health care organization meet the government requirements for program participation, including a certification of compliance with the health and safety requirements called Conditions of Participation (CoPs) or Conditions for Coverage (CfCs), which are set forth in federal regulations. The certification is achieved based on either a survey conducted by a state agency on behalf of the federal government, such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), or by a national accrediting organization, such as The Joint Commission, that has been approved by CMS as having standards and a survey process that meets or exceeds Medicare’s requirements. Health care organizations that achieve accreditation through a Joint Commission “deemed status” survey are determined to meet or exceed Medicare and Medicaid requirements.
Voluntary deemed status through The Joint Commission is available for:
- Ambulatory surgical centers
- Clinical laboratories
- Critical access hospitals
- Home health agencies
- Hospice agencies
- Hospitals
- Psychiatric hospitals
Accreditation is required (and available through The Joint Commission) for:
- Advanced diagnostic imaging services
- Durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers
- Opioid treatment programs ( deeming authority is granted through the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration or SAMHSA, not CMS )
A health care organization is eligible for reimbursement for the following procedures if the health care organization is certified by The Joint Commission for.

CMS oversight of accrediting organizations
CMS conducts complaint investigations and random validation surveys of Joint Commission accredited organizations that have deemed status. In addition, The Joint Commission provides CMS with a listing of, and related documentation for, deemed organizations receiving adverse accreditation decisions. The Joint Commission also provides accreditation decision reports for deemed organizations involved in CMS validation surveys and any other deemed status survey report when requested by CMS or a state agency that is acting on behalf of CMS as a contractor.
Costs of deemed status survey is allowable for some organizations
CMS has determined that fees for Joint Commission surveys may be included in a health care organization’s costs on its annual cost report for those organizations required to file cost reports.
State recognition for licensure and/or certification
