WASHINGTON – The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on May 18 will begin applying additional scenarios where stay-of-enrollment can be applied on non-compliant DMEPOS suppliers, AAHomecare reports. Those scenarios:
- Liability insurance and surety bond cancellations
- Site visit non-compliance determinations
- Failure to respond to development requests within 30 days for revalidations or changes to information
Background
Stay-of-enrollment is a preliminary action CMS can take on non-compliant providers. Instead of revoking or deactivating supplier numbers, for certain scenarios, suppliers can be put on a stay-of-enrollment that will pause their enrollment providing up to 60 days to correct the non-compliance. The stay was first implemented for DMEPOS providers in 2024 for specific scenarios such as failure to respond to revalidation request or timely reporting of address changes.
