Upcoming CMS Webinar on Section 111 Reporting Penalties

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has scheduled an important webinar on October 17, 2024, at 1:00 PM ET, specifically covering Section 111 reporting Civil Money Penalties (CMPs) and their implications for all relevant stakeholders involved in compliance and reporting.

Webinar Format and Focus From CMS

CMS will be hosting a comprehensive webinar regarding Certain Civil Money Penalties for NGHP Responsible Reporting Entities (RREs). This informative session aims to clarify the implications of these penalties and ensure that all RREs are well-informed. The format will include opening remarks from CMS officials, followed by a detailed presentation that will cover essential topics. Attendees can expect reminders about the Final Rule, insights into the auditing process, and critical dates that RREs need to remember. After the presentation, there will be a dedicated question-and-answer session, allowing participants to seek clarification and address specific concerns related to the Civil Money Penalties. This interactive component is designed to enhance understanding and foster engagement among all attendees.

RREs who would like to submit questions in advance of the webinar are encouraged to do so using the dedicated resource mailbox at Sec111CMP@cms.hhs.gov.

There is no pre-registration for the webinar.  Full details can be found here.

The upcoming webinar focuses on Section 111 penalties, while a previous webinar covered Section 111 reporting best practices and upcoming changes. A copy of the slides and notes of the prior session are here.

CMS recently added a new page to its website, which provides NGHP Civil Money Penalties information, including a flow chart.  CMPs are applicable starting October 11, 2024, and audits begin in January 2026. We encourage a review of CMS’ website and articles Tower has published on the topic, including Section 111 Reporting for WCMSAs & Avoiding Civil Penalties.
