Any facility contracting with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) must comply with the CMS Emergency Preparedness Requirements for Medicare and Medicaid Participating Providers and Suppliers (42 CFR Parts 403,416,418,et al.) by November 15, 2017. The CMS final rule establishes national emergency preparedness requirements for Medicare and Medicaid participating providers and suppliers to plan adequately for both natural and man-made disasters, and coordinate with federal, state, tribal, regional, and local emergency preparedness systems. It will also assist providers and suppliers to adequately prepare to meet the needs of patients, residents, clients, and participants during disasters and emergency
situations. EREC will provide information for employers and workers who will be responding to the emergency.
