CMS Mandatory Training
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require that Medicare Advantage Organizations inform network providers and practitioners about the requirements to complete annual training.
Effective Jan. 1, 2021, for General Compliance and Fraud, Waste, and Abuse: First-Tier, Downstream, and Related Entities (FDR), as well as delegated entities, will be required to complete training via the Medicare Learning Network (MLN) website. The trainings must be completed by each individual, not one person representing the entire group. Providers, practitioners and administrators must complete the training within 90 days of contracting or becoming a delegated entity. However, one person from the organization may attest on behalf of the entire group as long as all individuals in the organization have completed all of the required trainings.
*Note: FDRs meeting the FWA training and certification requirements, through Parts A or B of the Medicare program or via accreditation as a supplier of DMEPOS, are exempt from the FWA training. General Compliance training remains a requirement.
Nivano Physicians is committed to working with you to fulfill these CMS requirements. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact Provider Services at 844.889.2273 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
