No agency, organization, hospital, or nursing home shall provide a long term home health care program without the written authorization of the secretary or his designee to provide such a program. However, contractual arrangements between primary providers of home health care and other health care providers shall not be prohibited provided that the primary provider of home health care maintains full responsibility for the plan of treatment and case management of care rendered.
