NCHA Submits Comment Letter on CMS’s Guidance for Hospital Co-Location with Other Hospitals or Healthcare Facilities

NCHA submitted a comment letter addressing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) proposed guidance for hospital co-location with other hospitals or health care facilities. This draft guidance represents an important update to existing CMS policy. While CMS’s general allowance of co-location demonstrates an important update, we urged CMS to consider revisions that will enable increased flexibility and successful implementation of this policy in health care settings.
