Notice
Summary

They’re asking for comments by June 9, 2026, to make sure the process is clear, useful, and not too much work. This affects anyone who might provide info to CMS and helps keep things running smoothly without wasting time or money.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Self-Attestation Replaces 6-Year Surveys
CMS proposes letting Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (CORFs), Outpatient Physical Therapy/Speech-Language Pathology (OPT/SLP) providers, Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), and Portable X‑Ray (PXR) suppliers attest they meet CMS Conditions of Participation instead of undergoing State Survey Agency recertification surveys every 6 years. Providers would complete and submit a type-specific attestation form prior to their recertification due date, and a timely, properly completed attestation would be accepted by the State Survey Agency for recertification.
New Annual Attestation Information Collection
CMS is requesting OMB approval for form CMS-10952A-D (OMB control number 0938-NEW) to collect self-attestations annually. The notice lists 1,360 respondents, 1,360 total annual responses, and 1,360 total annual hours for this collection, with a stated frequency of annually.
PXR Suppliers Not Required Onsite
The notice states there are no statutory or regulatory provisions that require states to conduct onsite recertification surveys for Portable X‑Ray (PXR) suppliers. CMS notes it already uses attestation for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
