Can MAOs and other entities submit End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) information on behalf of dialysis centers?
Answer:
No, MAOs and other entities may not submit information on behalf of dialysis centers. CMS obtains information regarding the start of dialysis and transplant status from reports that dialysis facilities directly submit to CMS.
