CMS Pub. 100-01, ch. 5, § 10.6.1
Voluntary Termination
A provider may terminate its agreement (and in the case of a SNF, it may terminate its
agreement prior to the close of the specified term of its agreement) by filing with the
Secretary a written notice of its intention to terminate the agreement. The Secretary may
accept the termination date stated in the notice (the date must be the first day of a month
and, in the case of a SNF, must occur within the specified term of such facility's
agreement) or set a different date. However, the termination date set by the Secretary
may not be more than 6 months from the date the provider's notice is filed.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
