April 5, 2023
9:00 am – 11:00 am
Program Overview: The informal dispute process (IDR), independent informal dispute process (IIDR) and appeals to an Administrative Law Judge are the only recourse providers have to dispute citations of federal deficiencies. Being successful in the IDR, IIDR and/or Appeals process can have a multi-year impact on a provider’s future fines and sanctions and on the public presence of citations on Care Compare. In addition, there are other consequences a provider may face due to deficiency citations.
