MMSEA section 111: do you know if it applies to your organization?
Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 requires certain self-insured hospitals to report to CMS when the hospital makes a payment for a claim brought by a Medicare beneficiary and/or has ongoing responsibility for a Medicare beneficiary's medical costs. To comply with this requirement, responsible reporting entities (RREs) must register with CMS by Sept.30, 2009, and submit claim files for testing during the period from Jan. 1 through March 31, 2010. RREs must comply with the requirement beginning with second quarter of 2010.
