The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) appear poised to release a long-awaited final rule related to MMSEA Section 111 reporting civil money penalties. Earlier this month, the Office of Management and Budget concluded the regulatory work and it now appears that a final rule will be published shortly (pending a possible government shutdown).

As this final rule poses a substantial financial impact to payers, upon its release, our compliance and Section 111 teams will provide a review and analysis of the rules and associated penalties to help you assess any associated risk to your program.

Our goal is to keep you informed with Accurate, Complete and Timely (ACT) information. Please stay alert and take advantage of the following communications.

ECS will send direct email notifications as information is made available.
ECS will post a detailed Blog once CMS publishes the Section 111 Civil Money Penalties Final Rule.
ECS will host a webinar within 3 days of the Final Rule being published to review the rule and the impact to the industry.
ECS has established a dedicated email address to confidentially receive and respond to your questions regarding the risk to your program: ComplianceHotline@ExamWorksCompliance.com
