HHS Guidance Portal
The Guidance Portal is a public website that shows current guidance documents from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its Divisions.
Federal guidance are documents that explain how a government agency understands and applies federal law. Guidance can include policy statements, manuals, FAQs, or other documents that help the public understand existing laws and regulations.
Guidance does not create new laws or legal requirements. Instead, it explains how HHS plans to carry out laws that were already passed by Congress or rules that were already finalized through the federal rulemaking process.
DISCLAIMER: The contents of this database lack the force and effect of law, except as authorized by law (including Medicare Advantage Rate Announcements and Advance Notices) or as specifically incorporated into a contract. The Department may not cite, use, or rely on any guidance that is not posted on the guidance repository, except to establish historical facts.
