These are rules for being a Medicare participating provider and the consequence of violating them is that you can&#x27;t bill Medicare. I want to see one example of an individual doing time or even paying a fine for failing a CMS condition.<p>There are providers who don&#x27;t bill Medicare, don&#x27;t undergo CMS surveys, and don&#x27;t follow the COPs. You guys are going overboard in calling it &quot;the law.&quot;
