CMS Pub. 100-16, ch. 5, § 40.3.3
Withdrawal of Approval
42 CFR §422.157(d)(4)
If an equivalency review, validation review, onsite observation, or CMS’ daily
experience with the AO suggests that the AO is not meeting the requirements specified
in 42 CFR §422, Subpart D, CMS will give the AO written notice of its intent to
withdraw approval.
CMS may withdraw an AO’s approval for deeming authority at any time, if CMS
determines that:
• Deeming based on accreditation no longer guarantees that the MAO meets the
requirements, and failure to meet those requirements could jeopardize the health or
safety of Medicare enrollees and constitutes a significant hazard to the public
health; or
• The AO has failed to meet the obligations specified in sections 40 and 40.4 of this
chapter.
