CMS Extends Public Comment Period for OIG's Permissive Exclusion Authority Revisions

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is extending the public comment period for the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) Federal Register notice on revising the criteria for implementing permissive exclusion authority under Section 1128(b)(7) of the Social Security Act, originally set to close on July 11, 2014, due to a technical issue that may have prevented some from submitting comments online at http://www.regulations.gov.
