IIDR Update

The contract with Maximus Federal to perform the new Federally required IIDR process (an optional process for facilities) has finally been signed by the State.  Facilities should expect that CMS will now begin to issue notice of Civil Money Penalty and the option to participate in IIDR.  Tight timelines apply to electing and participating in IIDR.  For more information, visit the ISDH Informal Dispute Resolution Information Center at http://www.in.gov/isdh/25304.htm.
