You can access the pre-order by going to httsp://productordering.cms.hhs.gov, logging into your POW account, and then clicking on the blue Pre-Order button at the top left of the page.
Please note that, due to budgetary constraints, pre-order quantities will be limited to 40 copies of the handbook for home health care organizations, hospice organizations, and local human services offices, and 100 copies for all other organizations. There are no exceptions to these quantity limits. Unlike past years, WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY LATE PRE-ORDERS . If you will be out of the office during the pre-order, please make arrangements for someone else to place a pre-order for you.
Please note that all pre-ordered handbooks will not ship to you until the fall of 2025.
