You must document compliance with the notice requirements by retaining copies of the NPPs you issued for the required six years.
Covered healthcare providers must also retain all signed acknowledgments of receipt of the notice and documentation about attempts to obtain the acknowledgment when unable to obtain it.
Go to Section 164.530(j) Documentation and Section 164.520(e) Documentation of Notice for more information.
