AHCA Releases Toolkit for Providers and State Affiliates Seeking to Apply for CMPRP Funds

American Health Care Association (AHCA) has released a tips toolkit for providers and state affiliates seeking to apply for Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Program (CMPRP) funds.  

On September 25, 2023, CMS released QSO-23-23 which outlined the use of federally imposed civil money penalty (CMP) funds by states. In the memo, CMS described the background of the program, the reasons for the recent update, the approval process, content required within the proposals, information regarding who is qualified to receive CMP funds, and annual reporting requirements. 

The goal of the providers tool is to provide facilities with ideas and tips to assist with applying for funding under the updated CMPRP program. 

The goal of the state affiliates tool is to assist state affiliates in their discussions with state survey agencies as they prepare their state plans for the CMPRP and provide ideas and tips for use of CMPRP funds for both state affiliates and for state affiliates to assist providers.
