The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible for overseeing the Medicaid program, including approving hospitals to provide care for Medicaid patients. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) is a private organization that accredits hospitals but does not have authority over Medicaid certification. The State Board of Pharmacy (BOP) is responsible for regulating pharmacies, not hospitals.
