Medicare Termination & Preliminary Denial of Accreditation

At Nash Healthcare Consulting (NHC), our mission is to support healthcare organizations with the tools and resources needed to provide high-quality care. Adverse outcomes require an immediate response, and the NHC team is uniquely qualified and experienced at rapidly addressing and resolving deficiencies through a series of effective steps including creating corrective action plans. NHC’s senior consultants are former surveyors from the Joint Commission and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. As such, the NHC team is highly experienced and knowledgeable of CMS regulations and Conditions of Participation (COP), and the interpretive guidelines. We immediately assess your compliance and advise you on how to obtain and maintain compliance more effectively.

We overall meet the unique needs of each hospital by aligning our experience with policy and practice to work closely with hospital leadership and front-line staff to support hospitals in key areas where sustainment can be difficult. Our senior team jumps into a Medicare Termination consultation by immediately conducting CMS survey readiness at your hospital. We provide immediate support after a CMS survey by supporting you and your facility in preparing the 10-day plan of correction, we educate your staff on the COPs and how to demonstrate compliance while highlighting common pitfalls, and we rapidly respond to termination letters by supporting your facility in creating a solid corrective action plan.
