CMS Regulations & Guidance- Quarterly Provider Updates- Mid-Quarter Instructions

Guidance for CMS Quarterly Provider Updates regarding Mid-Quarter Instructions.

Final

Issued by: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Issue Date: April 21, 2017

To the extent practical, all instructions will be implemented 90 days after they are included in the Quarterly Provider Update. However, some instructions and program changes have external dependencies that will necessitate a mid-quarter publication due to their significance to the provider community.  A list of these instructions/changes are identified in the "Downloads" section below.

HHS is committed to making its websites and documents accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We are in the process of retroactively making some documents accessible. If you need assistance accessing an accessible version of this document, please reach out to the guidance@hhs.gov.
