No. CCP provider agencies for in-home services that operate exclusively under this program are exempt from the licensing requirement imposed upon home service agencies under the Home Health, Home Services, and Home Nursing Agency Licensing Act [see 210 ILCS 55]. If an agency only intends to provide CCP service, it must only meet certification requirements set by the Department. However, most home service agencies will also provide services to non-CCP clients in which case a license must also be obtained from the Illinois Department of Public Health.
