Selection of Temporary Manager

10007.2 - Selection of Temporary Manager (Rev. 221; Issued: 05-10-24; Effective: 05-10-24; Implemetation:05-10-24) Each SA should compile a list of individuals who are eligible to serve as temporary managers. When CMS decides to impose this sanction or remedy, it considers the SA’s recommendation for a temporary manager whose work experience and education qualify the individual to oversee the correction of deficiencies to achieve substantial compliance. The temporary manager must have the experience and education that qualifies the individual to oversee the HHA or hospice program. The temporary manager can be either internal or external to the HHA/hospice program and will be appointed by CMS or the SA based on qualifications described in §§ 484.105(b) and 484.115 for HHAs and §§ 418.100 and 418.114 for hospice programs. The SA should reject a candidate who has demonstrated difficulty maintaining compliance in the past.
