The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a Survey and Certification Letter announcing changes to the required Office of Civil Rights (OCR) Clearance Process for providers applying for participation in the Medicare Part A program. Effective July 15, State Survey Agencies (SA) must include the OCR Certification Information Request Packet with the initial enrollment package sent to potential providers or to providers undergoing a change in ownership (CHOW). SAs must now also offer potential providers the option to submit the entire civil rights package online.
