Question

which do the centers for medicare and medicaid services develop as requirements that health care organizations must meet in order to begin and continue participating in the medicare and medicaid programs?
a. code
b. legislation
c. standards
d. cop and cfc

Explanation:

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) develop Conditions of Participation (CoP) and Conditions for Coverage (CfC). These are the requirements that healthcare organizations must meet to start and continue participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs. Codes are more about classification systems (like ICD - 10 codes for diagnoses). Legislation is a broader term for laws passed by a governing body. Standards is a more general term, while CoP and CfC are the specific CMS - defined requirements for program participation.

Answer:

d. CoP and CfC
