[Note to reviewer: If the organization has, for any reason, re-submitted its data to CMS for this reporting section, the reviewer should verify that the organization’s original data submissions met the CMS deadline in order to have a finding of “yes” for this reporting section criterion. However, if the organization re-submits data for any reason and if the re-submission was completed by 3/31 of the data validation year, the reviewer should use the organization’s corrected data submission(s) for the rest of the reporting section criteria for this reporting section.] |
