Extension of Auto-Cancellation Date of Requests for Anticipated Payments (RAPs)
As part of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) are allowed to extend the auto-cancellation date of Requests for Anticipated Payment (RAPs). CGS extended the auto-cancel timeframe of RAPs by 90 days from the paid date of the RAP, retroactive to March 1, 2020. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) signed a renewal that the PHE continues to exist; therefore, CGS will extend the auto-cancellation date for RAPs another 90 days.
