The Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA) has released its quarterly notice listing the OMHA Case Processing Manual (OCPM) manual instructions published from July-September 2015. This manual standardizes the day-to-day procedures for carrying out adjudicative functions, in accordance with applicable statues, regulations and OMHA directives, and also gives OMHA staff direction for processing appeals.
Over the covered 3-month period, OMHA has released new chapters describing: 1) individuals that qualify as parties to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing and review process so that those filing requests for a hearing actually have the right to file a request (Chapter 4, Parties); 2) the roles/responsibilities of party representatives (Chapter 5, Representatives); and 3) the roles/responsibilities of CMS and its contractors (Chapter 6, CMS and CMS Contractor Roles).
To access the full text of these new chapters and other current instructions, go to http://www.hhs.gov/omha/OMHA_Case_Processing_Manual/index.html
