CMS Pub. 100-06, ch. 3, § 140.4.1
Establish Effective Lines of Communications
Upon becoming aware that a provider has filed for bankruptcy, the Contractor shall immediately inform
the OPOLE IFM Bankruptcy team via email at OPOLE_IFM_Bankruptcy@cms.hhs.gov as soon as
practicable, but no later than two (2) business days following such awareness.
Timely communication is critical due to court-imposed deadlines and the potential impact on Medicare’ s
recovery rights.
The CMS Office will inform the Contractor of the CMS Bankruptcy Analyst assigned to the case. The
Contractor can coordinate with the assigned analyst regarding matters related to the bankrupt provider.

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.
