ERP Announcements
2024 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Annual Notification
This message is to advise you that as usual, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will be conducting its 2024 audit of the ADA Education Recognition Program. CMS has contracted with Integrated Management Strategies (IMS) to perform oversight activities to ensure that ADA and the ADA Recognized DSMES services continue to meet the Medicare DSMT requirements. IMS will be executing this 6-month validation project to assist CMS in its oversight efforts. If your DSMES service is selected for an audit by IMS on behalf of CMS, please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your audit documents:
- CMS requires all requested documents to IMS be sent electronically. All documents must be legible, dated and have a title or heading so that they can be identified easily by the auditor.
- All DSMES charts must be de-identified for an audit. All personal information must be redacted (removed) from each page of the records provided.
- ERP highly recommends that any DSMES charts submitted be sent with a copy of the DSMES cycle and be labeled with A – I of the DSMES cycle
- Example of the official notification Letter
