CMS will be hosting a webinar regarding CMPs for the NGHP Responsible Reporting Entities (RREs). The presentation by CMS will include reminders about the Final Rule and auditing process, anticipated correspondence, and a question-and-answer session.

This will be a different topic than the CMS webinar covering WCMSA Section 111 Mandatory Insurer Reporting that was cancelled because of the government shutdown in October, but a webinar covering CMPs is welcome given that CMS began auditing workers’ compensation, general liability, and no-fault claims payers for noncompliance with Section 111 Medicare Reporting requirements on October 11, 2025.
Sanderson Firm will attend this upcoming webinar and will provide key takeaways. If you or your organization have questions surrounding Section 111 reporting or CMPs, please contact us.
