CMS threatens to withhold payments from hospitals not reporting COVID-19, flu data
Editor's Note
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on October 6 released guidance on how it will implement an interim final rule that requires hospitals and critical access hospitals to report data on COVID-19 and flu patients.
CMS says failure to report specified data may lead to termination of a provider’s participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Facilities will be given 14 weeks to comply with reporting requirements.
