A health care provider is considered to be qualified to provide covered services if the provider is licensed or certified and meets— all the requirements of State law to provide such services; applicable requirements of Federal law to provide such services; and any applicable standards established under subsection (b). The Board shall establish, evaluate, and update national minimum standards to ensure the quality of services provided under this Act and to monitor efforts by State health security programs to ensure the quality of such services.
A State health security program may also establish additional minimum standards which providers shall meet. The national minimum standards under paragraph
(1)shall be established for institutional providers of services, individual health care practitioners, and comprehensive health service organizations. Except as the Board may specify in order to carry out this title, a hospital, nursing facility, or other institutional provider of services shall meet standards for such a facility under the medicare program under title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.) . Such standards also may include, where appropriate, elements relating to— adequacy and quality of facilities; training and competence of personnel (including continuing education requirements); comprehensiveness of service; continuity of service; patient satisfaction (including waiting time and access to services); and performance standards (including organization, facilities, structure of services, efficiency of operation, and outcome in palliation, improvement of health, stabilization, cure, or rehabilitation). If the Board provides for additional requirements for providers under this subsection, any such additional requirement shall be implemented in a manner that provides for a reasonable period during which a previously qualified provider is permitted to meet such an additional requirement. The Board shall provide for an exchange, at least annually, among State health security programs of information with respect to quality assurance and cost containment.
