Diane,
If you limit your complaint acceptance period to 30 days, the only other
recourse the person would have is to file a complaint with the Secretary if
the occurance is more than 30 days old. For my agency, I had rather our
patients come to us with a complaint rather than the Secretary of
We have several doctors within our primary care group that also work as
independent contractors with nursing homes to fill the role of medical

I can't cite the documentation specifically, but I have been informed by other
coworkers that Medicare does require a 12 font. I believe it's for the beneficiary
notices. So, although HIPAA does not state you must use a certain font, will you get
in trouble by Medicare if you don't use 12?
John,
Thank you for your prompt and thorough response. You helped clarify and
validate what I thought was correct.
The company that I made reference is a BA, not a CE. The BA does have an
employee onsite that acts as a liaison between the PEO and the company for
most of the HR functions. This
Would anyone know if there is a requirement as to the type of mailing that must be

Maybe you can get by having the official NPP in 10 Font. Have it state
that there is a large print NPP available upon request. It wouldn't be
as expensive as having them all made in a larger font. But it would
