On September 16, 2016, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published in the Federal Register a 186 page rule titled, Emergency Preparedness Requirements for Medicare and Medicaid Participating Providers and Suppliers, Final Rule. The Rule establishes the first ever 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. This bParati infoGraphic is the first of an ongoing series of graphics designed to simply the Rule and its requirements.
