NY Clinic That Treated Joan Rivers Gets Accreditation Reprieve
NY clinic that treated Joan Rivers gets accreditation reprieve -The New York outpatient clinic where comedian Joan Rivers was treated a week before her death last year will have until March to fix its problems so it can retain its federal accreditation and funding, a government health agency said.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said on Monday the clinic did not meet the conditions for coverage as a supplier of ambulatory surgical services and would be terminated at the end of January. However, in a letter to the clinic released on Friday the CMS postponed the date.
If Yorkville Endoscopy does not fix problems that were uncovered during an investigation by the New York State Department of Health, it will not be reimbursed for services to Medicare beneficiaries under the program.
