Representative sample validation surveys: The SA submits the appropriate information
as specified on the List of Documents in Certification Packet (see Exhibit 63) to the RO
or through an update to the ASPEN database within 30 calendar days of completing the
survey. In cases where immediate jeopardy exists, the SA submits all the appropriate
information specified on the List of Documents in Certification Packet to the RO within
two working days of completion of the survey, and enters survey data to the ASPEN
database, in a timely manner. The SA also completes the Survey Team Composition and
Workload Report (Form CMS-670).
Substantial allegation validation surveys: The SA follows the procedures in Chapter 5,
Section 5110.
If the provider/supplier has been cited as a result of the validation survey for deficiencies
at the standard level only, the provider/supplier remains deemed. It is not obligated to
submit a plan of correction (PoC), although it may voluntarily choose to do. If the
provider/supplier submits a PoC, the SA includes it in the survey file.
