Sunset of the Policies for Provider Nominations for an Intermediary and the Provider Requests for a Change of Intermediary
The provider nomination provisions contained under Section 1816 of the Social Security Act have sunset and new freestanding providers will no longer be able 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.
