CMS Pub. 100-01, ch. 7, § 30.70
Disposition of Non-Claims Materials
Non-claims materials, as defined in §30.10.1B, may be disposed of by the contractor. Retained
CMS bill copies (where records were submitted on tape) may be destroyed.
In disposing of this material, the contractor must:
• Ensure the confidentiality of information regarding a particular beneficiary, provider,
physician, or supplier by protective shredding, mutilation, or contractual provisions with
the subcontractor regarding similar protective measures.
• Provide for offsetting expenditures with salvage value received when contractual
relationships have been established with a local contractor for the sale of non-claims
materials for its salvage value. In such cases, the contractor records the salvage value
received, and offsets the initial expense of purchasing such materials by such value
received.
