Operative words
CMS is revising guidance on the expansion of survey activities to authorize onsite revisits and other survey types. CMS is providing guidance to State Survey Agencies (SAs) on resolving enforcement cases: CMS is providing guidance on resolving enforcement cases that were previously directed to be held, and providing guidance on Civil Money Penalty (CMP) collection. Expanded Desk Review Authority: CMS is temporarily expanding the desk review policy to include review of continuing noncompliance following removal of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ), which would otherwise have required an onsite revisit from March 23, 2020, through May 31, 2020.
