CMS Extends Timeline for Provider Revalidation

Posted on November 7, 2011 in Long-Term Care, Home Health & Hospice

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has reevaluated the revalidation requirements in the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), and believe the ACA allows for the extension of the revalidation period for an additional two years.  This will extend the deadline for revalidation through March of 2015.  Providers are reminded that if they have already received their notice to revalidate, they must complete the revalidation within the original time-frame.  This only will extend the time-frame CMS has to issue the revalidation notices.  This also does not affect the screening category certain providers or suppliers are assigned for revalidation.
