Re: Jcaho

Some small, rural hospitals are also non-accredited, yet able to bill medicare for services.

It has to do with the amount of competition the facility has. If there isn't anywhere else for a patient to go, then medicare will pay.

I interviewed at such a hospital a few years ago. the CNO told me they "act like" they are JC accredited (ie follow all of the same rules), they just don't have to pay the money/put up with the inspection.
