CMS Pub. 100-06, ch. 3, § 200.7.2
Interest Rate and Calculation Periods on Recouped Funds for
Purposes of Paying 935 Interest
(Rev. 12509; Isuued:02-15-24; Effective: 07-01-24; Implementation: 07-01-24)
We will pay simple interest rather than compound interest, and we will not pay interest on
interest. This mirrors the manner in which we assess interest against providers.
Monies we recouped and applied to interest are applied to outstanding debts as needed, or
refunded and not included in the “amount recouped” for purposes of calculating any interest
due the provider. The periods of recoupment will be calculated in full 30-day periods; and
interest will not be payable for any periods of less than 30-days in which we had possession
of the recouped funds.

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.
