Abstract: The proposed additions of 42 CFR 424.519 and 42 CFR 455.107 would require Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP providers and suppliers to disclose information about present and past affiliations with certain currently or formerly enrolled Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP providers and suppliers. Under proposed revision to 42 CFR 424.507, a physician or eligible professional would have to be enrolled in Medicare or validly opted-out in order to furnish, order, certify, refer, or prescribe any Part A or Part B service, item, or drug.
