Is Your Client on Medicare? Proposed Rule will Affect Section 111 Reporting

Today's Federal Register included a Proposed Rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding Civil Monetary Penalties for Responsible Reporting Entities. Translation: CMS is nailing down how to calculate financial penalties for those who do not comply with Medicare Secondary Payer requirements. Penalties can be as much as $1000 per day per beneficiary.
