Abstract: Pursuant to 42 CFR 422.624(b)(1), providers in skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies and comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities must deliver to MA enrollees a 2-day advance notice of termination of services. Per requirements at 42 CFR 422.626(e)(1), MA organizations must deliver detailed notices to the QIO and enrollees upon request for appeal of the termination of services. These notices fulfill the regulatory requirement. 42 CFR 417.600(b) provides that cost plans must follow these same fast track appeal notification procedures for their enrollees in SNFs HHAs and CORFs.
