A new CMS consulting program is being offered by Joint Commission Resources.
Long-term care groups can receive assistance from former state or federal surveyors, the company said.
“JCR is offering this consulting service in response to requests for assistance from several organizations that were struggling to comply with the requirements of the Medicare program including some that had been notified by their state or CMS that they were not compliant with all Medicare conditions of participation and therefore would be receiving an unannounced visit from CMS or state agency surveyors on behalf of CMS for a follow-up evaluation,” the JCR said in a statement.
The practice is led by Michelle McDonald, RN, MPH. Webinars and publications also will be available.
