Means of Sending Notice
7305.4 - Means of Sending Notice
(Rev. 244; Issued: 06-26-26; Effective: 06-26-26; Implementation: 06-26-26)
The notice shall be in writing and shall be addressed directly to the provider/facility; or to
an individual, an officer, managing or general agent, or other agent authorized by
appointment or law to receive the notice.
The notice shall be dispatched through first-class mail, or other reliable means. Other
reliable means refers to the use of alternatives to the United States mail in sending
notices. Electronic communication, such as facsimile transmission, secured electronic
mail (email), or electronic plan of correction (ePOC) are equally reliable and on
occasion more convenient than the United States mail. If electronic means are employed
to send notice, the sender should maintain a record of the transmission to assure proof of
transmission if receipt is denied.
