Part C and Part D Enforcement Actions
CMS has the authority to take enforcement or contract actions when CMS determines that a Medicare Plan Sponsor either:
- substantially fails to comply with program and/or contract requirements,
- is carrying out its contract with CMS in a manner that is inconsistent with the efficient and effective administration of the Medicare Part C and Part D program requirements, or
- no longer substantially meets the applicable conditions of the Medicare Part C and D program.
Enforcement and contract actions include:
- Civil money penalties (CMP)
- Intermediate sanctions (i.e., suspension of marketing, enrollment, payment), and
- Terminations.
Below is a list of recent CMP, Intermediate Sanction, and Termination notices issued by CMS.
