RO Termination Action Based on Onsite Survey of Medicare

3014 - RO Termination Action Based on Onsite Survey of Medicare Provider or Supplier (Excluding SNFs) Conducted by RO Staff (Rev. 123, Issued: 10-03-14, Effective: 10-03-14, Implementation: 10-03-14) When substantial noncompliance, including immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety, is determined by a survey team consisting of RO rather than SA surveyors, whether in the course of a Federal Look-behind survey, in response to a complaint, as part of the validation effort of a deemed provider or supplier, or to support other program needs, the RO initiates termination procedures as provided in §§3010 or 3012. The RO notifies the SA and the SMA of the action being taken. The RO completes the Certification and Transmittal, Form CMS-1539 in the Automated Survey Processing Environment (ASPEN) and ensures that the CMS National Data Base is updated to include the termination action. (See Chapter 7 for SNFs and NFs.)
