Guidance on Submitting Electronic Plans of Correction (ePOC)

Are you signed up to use the electronic plan of correction process (ePOC) to receive your CMS-2567s electronically and submit your POCs electronically?  The ePOC process eliminates the need for paper-based communications between providers and survey agencies when reviewing plans of correction.

Enrollment involves registering for an ePOC account with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Each facility can set up an ePOC CMS Net account with a log in and password. If the person who handles Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions will also be involved with ePOC, they can use the same MDS account and will be able to activate ePOC on that account.
