CMS Pub. 100-01, ch. 7, § 50.4.1
Issue Date
The date the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes a change request
(CR).
When a CR has passed through all phases of the change management process, it is then ready for
publication; that is, the CMS is ready to make the instructions contained in the CR available to
contractors, maintainers, providers, beneficiaries and/or any group or organization that may be
affected, as appropriate. The CMS publishes CRs by posting them as Transmittals, on the CMS
Web site.
Note: The issue date is named “Date” on the Transmittal form, One-Time Notification,
Recurring Update Notification, and the Standard CR forms. It is sometimes referred to as the
“transmittal date.”

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
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.
