Home health agency licensing by state

Skilled nursing and therapy at home, licensed by the state or certified by Medicare

A home health agency sends nurses, therapists and aides into patients’ homes to give skilled care under a physician’s plan of care. Two separate approvals can apply: a state license, which lets you operate, and federal Medicare certification, which lets you bill Medicare. Most states require the license and treat certification as a separate step. A few license nothing and rely on certification alone, and many add a certificate of need.

What triggers the license

Most states define a home health agency by its service mix, not by patient count. Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Montana, South Carolina and the District of Columbia license skilled nursing plus at least one other service, such as therapy or aide care. Missouri requires two or more of six home health services, one being skilled nursing, and a business office that is not a private residence. New Jersey and Georgia require nursing, home health aide and physical therapy. Nebraska and New Mexico set the bar lower: one therapeutic or medically directed service is enough. Utah is the rare state with a staff count, licensing agencies with two or more direct care staff.

States with no state license

Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan and South Dakota do not license home health agencies; you need Medicare certification to bill Medicare or Medicaid. Idaho joined them when it repealed its license on July 1, 2025. Alabama and West Virginia also have no license, but entry is still controlled: both require a certificate of need, and West Virginia requires one regardless of cost.

Many names for the same business

Texas licenses a Home and Community Support Services Agency, Virginia a Home Care Organization and Tennessee a Home Care Organization Providing Home Health Services. Rhode Island issues a Home Nursing Care Provider license, Nevada an Agency to Provide Nursing in the Home license, and Colorado a Class A Home Care Agency license. Minnesota requires a Comprehensive Home Care License, and Vermont grants a mandatory designation rather than a license.

One license or several

Oklahoma’s Home Care Agency license covers both, Kansas’s skilled license also covers supportive care and waiver services, and Virginia uses the same license for personal care. Others split them: Delaware and Connecticut license aide-only agencies separately, and Illinois licenses shift-nursing agencies under their own Home Nursing Agency license. North Carolina licenses skilled care without Medicare or Medicaid certification as a home care agency, while certified agencies also need a certificate of need. Missouri requires its license even for a Medicare-certified agency, and Texas adds certification as an extra category on the same license.

Certificates of need

Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey and Tennessee require a certificate of need before licensure; Rhode Island removed home nursing-care and home-care providers from its CON law in its FY2027 budget (P.L. 2026, ch. 84), effective June 12, 2026. Vermont requires one before state designation, and Hawaii requires one only if you will bill Medicare or Medicaid; private-pay-only agencies get a no-CON letter from SHPDA. Washington requires one for each county served, and the District of Columbia only when the annual operating budget is $500,000 or more. New York requires a new certified agency to show public need in its planning area. Oregon, South Carolina and New Hampshire have no certificate of need for home health.

Moratoriums and freezes

CMS stopped enrolling new home health agencies in Medicare nationwide on May 13, 2026, for six months that can be extended in six-month increments; the first period ends about November 13, 2026. California has frozen new state licenses since June 29, 2026, unless the Department of Public Health grants a need-based exception. Mississippi has a moratorium on new certificates of need, and New Jersey has not opened a call for new agencies. Louisiana’s statute bars new licenses until the health department publishes a funding rule. Arkansas requires a Permit of Approval before you apply. Confirm that applications are being accepted before you hire staff or sign a lease.
