Earlier that same day, the CMS announced that a new S111 Non-Group Health Plan (NGHP) Civil Money Penalties (CMP) webpage is now available. This site covers the expansive CMP process for NGHP S111 Reporting including how to identify non-compliance, calculating penalty amounts, and methods of communication. Furthermore, the daily maximum CMP amount recently increased from $1,428.00 to $1,474.00 per the Annual Civil Monetary Penalties Inflation Adjustment ( 45 C.F.R. § 102.3).
CMS’ Final Rule for imposing civil money penalties against non-compliant Responsible Reporting Entities (RREs) becomes applicable on October 11, 2024, and will be enforced as of October 11, 2025. In light of these fast-approaching developments, CMS’ upcoming webinar sets the stage for those in the industry to hone last-minute inquiries.
Sanderson Firm will be in attendance at this upcoming webinar and will provide key takeaways following the Q&A session.
