140.5.2 - Single Provider Serviced by a Contractor (Rev. 13825; Issued: 06-11-26; Effective: 07-13-26; Implementation: 07-13-26) When a single provider, who is serviced by a Contractor, files for bankruptcy, the same principle for processing a bankruptcy of a chain provider will apply. The CMS Bankruptcy Analyst, in coordination with CMS Counsel, will oversee the initial bankruptcy case and work directly with the Contractor/s, informing them of the proper actions to take with respect to recovering Medicare overpayments. The servicing CMS Office and CMS Counsel are responsible for making all decisions and will communicate with Contractors regarding all aspects of the bankruptcy.
