Shortening the Notice Period for Cause

8.3.2.2.3 – Shortening the Notice Period for Cause (Rev. 10228; Issued: 07-27-20; Effective: 08-27-20; Implementation: 08-27-20) At any time, the UPIC may recommend to CPI that the prior notice be shortened during a previously approved notice period. Such a recommendation would be appropriate if the MAC or UPIC believes that the provider will intentionally submit additional claims prior to the effective date of the payment suspension. If CPI approves that the payment suspension is to be imposed earlier than indicated in the issued notice, the UPIC shall notify the provider in writing of the change and the reason. The UPIC shall draft a notice for CPI’s approval before releasing the notice to the provider.
