Livanta’s Memorandum of Agreement for Healthcare Providers
As of 6/8/2019, Livanta is the new Medicare Beneficiary and Family Centered Care Quality Improvement Organization (BFCC-QIO) for 27 states and territories, providing Medicare case review services for Medicare beneficiaries across the U.S. Healthcare providers in Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and Wisconsin were required to sign a new MOA with Livanta by 6/8/2019. This requirement for Medicare providers is detailed in the law at 42 U.S.C. Section 1866 (a) (1) (E).
Partners in Care
Livanta currently finds that many health care providers, including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and hospice organizations, are delinquent in this task. As a key QIO partner and collaborator, National Government Services will be supporting Livanta in this endeavor. Unless you received an email confirmation from Livanta on 10/1/2019, your organization’s MOA has not been received (even if your records show that the MOA was sent, there may have been submission or receiving issues). Livanta is required to report failures to complete the MOA directly to the CMS. To avoid this action, please complete your MOA as soon as possible. Livanta has set a deadline of 12/31/2019; after that date, instances of noncompliance will be reported to CMS.
Information about Livanta’s MOA process is available on their website and on the following webpages:
