Medicare Signature Requirements
As a reminder, providers should be aware of the signature requirements for services provided/ordered. Signature requirements can be found in the Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Pub. 100-08, Chapter 3, Section 3.3.2.4.
In addition to the Pub. 100-08, CGS offers the following resources. These resources provide information about signature requirements, signature log, and attestation statements.
- Medicare Review Signature and Attestation Guidelines Web page
- Signature Guidelines for Home Health & Hospice Medical Review

To help prevent medical review denials, please be sure that your appropriate staff is familiar with these requirements.
