This final
rule requires providers and suppliers receiving funds under the #Medicare_program to report and return #overpayments by the later of the date that is 60
days after the date on which the overpayment was identified; or the date any
corresponding cost report is due, if applicable.
The requirements in this rule
are meant to ensure compliance with applicable statutes, promote the furnishing
of high quality care, and to protect the Medicare Trust Funds against fraud and
improper payments. This rule provides needed clarity and consistency in the
reporting and returning of self-identified overpayments.
