CMS Reposts CY2023 ANOC & EOC Models
On August 1, CMS reposted the revised Contract Year (CY) 2023 Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) and Evidence of Coverage (EOC) models due to several identified issues. CMS distributed its “Model Notice Corrections” memo the following day, highlighting many of the changes.
This is the first time since 2018 that CMS has provided revised models following the initial release date.
