CMS Pub. 100-16, ch. mc86c17a, § 30.2.2
Waiver of Interest Charges
When CMS makes a final determination that an overpayment or underpayment exists:
• Interest charges will be waived if the overpayment or underpayment is completely
liquidated within 30 days from the date of the final determination; or
• CMS may waive interest charges if it determines that the administrative cost of
collecting the interest exceeds the interest charges.
Interest will not be waived for that period of time during which the cost report was due
but remained unfiled for more than 30 days, as specified in this section.

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.
