Certain name changes are on the list. Under Medicare’s stepped-up efforts to root out fraudsters, it’s not only affiliation-related violations that can get you kicked from the Medicare program. In its new program integrity rule on enrollment, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services spells out four new actions on which it may base enrollment denials and revocations. A provider or supplier: 1. circumvents program rules by coming back into the program, or attempting to come back in, under a different name (e.g., the provider attempts to “reinvent” itself); 2. bills for services/items from noncompliant locations; 3. exhibits a pattern or practice of abusive ordering or certifying of Medicare Part A or Part B items, services or drugs; or 4. has an outstanding debt to CMS from an overpayment that was referred to the Treasury Department. These new authorities will “improve CMS’ fraud-fighting capabilities,” the agency says in a release about the rule.
