Notification of MACs and CMS of Co-Located Medicare Providers

Many long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) are co-located with other Medicare providers (acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), inpatient psychiatric facilities (IPFs)), which could lead to potential gaming of the Medicare system based on inappropriate patient shifting. In regulations at 42 CFR 412.22(e)(3) and (h)(6) CMS requires LTCHs to notify Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) and CMS of co-located providers.
