CMS Overpayment Demands: What Providers Need to Know

Getting a CMS overpayment demand letter is stressful — and you didn't enter healthcare to navigate federal compliance landmines. But this is a moment that requires clear thinking and swift action. Physicians, home health agencies, and hospice providers have 60 days to respond once an overpayment is identified. Miss that window and the consequences escalate significantly. These demands are often challengeable. You have options — and you don't have to face this alone.
