To clarify, it's 10 days to submit a plan of correction. Problems often take longer than that to correct.

- dekhn 11y agoAre you sure? Here's the sentences I read: "when ... pose immediate jeopardy, CMS requires the laboratory to take immediate action to remove the jeopardy" ... "10 days to with a credible allegation of compliance and acceptable evidence of correction". I see the part below that makes it sound like just a plan has to be filed, but I interpreted the text above as meaning they needed to comply within 10 days to even file the form. My interpretation may be wrong.
- aczerepinski 11y agoLess than 100% sure, but 10 days to file a POC was always my experience. Most issues can't be provably corrected in that timeframe.
- dekhn 11y agoAll the news articles I'm reading say that they actually have to remedy the problems within 10 days, not just file a form with their plan. But those articles also say that the investigation was limited to a secondary facility, so the impact may be smaller than I predicted.
