§494.20 - Condition: Compliance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations
Interpretive Guidelines §494.20
This Condition emphasizes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) role as a
partner with State and local governments, as well as with other Federal agencies. The
purpose of this Condition is to affirm the principle that Medicare reimbursement should be
distributed to ESRD facilities that comply with local, State, and Federal laws and rules. This
Condition is not intended to adjudicate laws and rules from other federal agencies, state, and
local governmental agencies. This Condition should only be cited when a specific deficient
practice has been completely adjudicated by the authority(ies) having jurisdiction in the
area, and a final decision of noncompliance with the other entity’s requirement has been
reached.
Facilities are expected to comply fully with investigations conducted by public health,
regulatory, or law enforcement authorities.

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.
