CMS Adopts Changes to PRRB Appeal Procedures
June 5, 2008
On May 23, 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule that substantially changes the procedures for appealing a Medicare cost report determination included in a notice of program reimbursement (NPR) before the Provider Reimbursement Review Board (PRRB).1 The final rule follows a proposed rule that CMS published on June 25, 2004. Many of these revised requirements will require providers to alter their internal practices and, in some respects, make the appeal process more difficult for providers. Most provisions of the final rule will become effective on August 21, 2008.
