Does a physician have to self-attest under CMS 2370-F in 2014 as well as 2013?

You are correct that the rule does not require the physician to submit a new self-attestation in 2014 although states could impose such a requirement. States can rely on the initial self-attestation for purposes of 2014 payments since we would not expect provider practices to vary significantly from year to year.

FAQ Question

Does a physician have to self-attest under CMS 2370-F in 2014 as well as 2013? The rule does not indicate that the physician has to self-attest a second time and we don't want to do that, but some who qualified in 2013 (based on 2012 claims history) may not qualify in 2014 (based on 2013 claims history).
