- Summary
- The purpose of this memorandum is to notify the State Survey Agencies (SAs) and CMS Regional Offices (ROs) and that the provider nomination provisions and the change of intermediary policy have sunset. Effective immediately, new freestanding providers are no longer permitted to express a preference for a particular fiscal intermediary (FI). New providers must be assigned to the designated local FI. In addition, providers may no longer request a change of FI and must continue with the FI to which they have been assigned.
