What the document says“Beginning January 1, 2028, as part of the enrollment (or reenrollment or revalidation of enrollment) of a provider or supplier under this title, and not less frequently than quarterly during the period that such provider or supplier is so enrolled, the State conducts a check of the Death Master File”
The section adds a new subparagraph (B) to section 1902(kk)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a(kk)(1)) requiring the State, from January 1, 2028, to check the Death Master File as defined in section 203(d) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 when enrolling, re-enrolling or revalidating a provider or supplier, and at least quarterly while the provider or supplier is enrolled.
What the document actually says“Beginning January 1, 2028, as part of the enrollment (or reenrollment or revalidation of enrollment) of a provider or supplier under this title, and not less frequently than quarterly during the period that such provider or supplier is so enrolled, the State conducts a check of the Death Master File”
From January 1, 2028 the state must check a death file. It must do so when a provider signs up. It must keep doing so at least every three months.
The check also runs on renewal. It asks whether the provider has died. The file is one kept by the federal government.
