The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) posted an article in the
MLN Matters weekly newsletter regarding the two SNF provider enrollment site visit contractors that have been confusing many members because it is a new process. In particular, the site visit contractors often subcontract the persons who go the SNF to take photographs of the building and verify it is operational to companies with unfamiliar names. This MLN article lists the specific names of these site visit contractors and subcontractors, as well as where providers can go for more information.
