A:
To look up information about a hospice accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), you can start by visiting the ACHC's official website. There, you will find resources and tools to help verify accreditation status. It's also useful to contact the ACHC directly through their customer service or via their online contact forms to request specific details about accredited hospices, including the verification of doctors associated with them.
Under California law, each hospice is required to maintain an up-to-date list of accredited services and providers. This information is usually accessible through the hospice's administration. If you're seeking information about doctors associated with a particular hospice, you might consider reaching out directly to the hospice in question. They should be able to provide you with the necessary details regarding their accredited professionals and their qualifications.
Remember, it's also possible to consult the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). They oversee health care services in the state and can provide information on the accreditation of hospices and their staff. This approach can offer an additional layer of confirmation about the credentials and standards maintained by the hospice care providers you are considering.
