About the North Carolina home health agency license
End-to-end support for a North Carolina home health agency license, which here means a Certified Home Health Agency regulated by NC DHHS/DHSR. The Healthcare Planning and Certificate of Need (CON) Section controls market entry. In North Carolina, skilled home health requires a CON, and if the annual State Medical Facilities Plan shows no need in your area, no CON can be issued. We map this first.
What’s included in your North Carolina home health agency package
- CON feasibility & State Medical Facilities Plan (SMFP) review: we check whether need exists in your service area before anything else.
- Competitive CON application support (base filing fee around $5,000, scaling with projected capital cost up to a $50,000 cap, nonrefundable even if denied).
- HHA license & Medicare certification sequencing once the CON is granted.
- Policies & procedures built to North Carolina standards and the federal Conditions of Participation.
How it works
- Kick-off call and SMFP need check for your area.
- We prepare your CON case, then your North Carolina home health license and policies.
- You review; we refine until it is right.
- We guide submission and stay with you through award, licensure and certification.
Indicative timeline: realistically 6 to 18 months once SMFP timing, competitive review and possible appeals are factored in. Be aware that the 2026 SMFP identifies no need for new home health agencies anywhere in the state. The proposed 2027 plan also shows no need statewide. A new North Carolina home health agency license therefore depends on a future plan showing need in your county.
North Carolina is also a heightened claim-review state, and new Medicare enrollment is paused nationwide until at least November 2026. Fees and timelines change, so we confirm current figures with DHSR and CMS as part of your project.
