Here are three things to know:

1. This number of self disclosures are nearly quadruple the number of settlements in 2021. 

2. According to the report, this could mean “CMS is working to review a greater number of self-disclosure submissions annually, which may reduce the backlog or the time it takes to have a self-disclosure reviewed.”

3. In an analysis of CMS’ addressing self disclosures, the report found that CMS appears to have increased its pace in processing self disclosures.
