CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 1, § 40.1.1
Close of Business
A2-2800.2, RHC-330
A provider may temporarily or permanently cease all business (Medicare and non-Medicare), and not timely notify the RO that it is ceasing operations. The FI may be
made aware very early of an impending closure due to its fiscal relationship with the
provider. Where the FI learns that a provider is ceasing operations, the FI should
immediately notify the RO and also take necessary action to avert an overpayment.
A provider is considered to have voluntarily terminated its agreement if it ceases to
furnish services to the community. The termination is effective after the last day of
business of the provider.

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.
