CMS Survey Readiness Score

Frequently asked questions
Which CMS provider types does this audit cover?
Home Health Agencies (42 CFR Part 484), Hospices (42 CFR Part 418), and Skilled Nursing Facilities (42 CFR Part 483). Each gap surfaced cites the specific Condition of Participation it satisfies or fails.
How long does the CMS audit take?
Three minutes. Roughly 15 questions across five Condition of Participation categories. No signup, no email, no credit card.
Will this audit predict whether I will pass an actual CMS survey?
It is a self-assessment, not a survey simulation. It surfaces the artifacts and process items a state surveyor would check during a recertification visit — comprehensive assessments, OASIS submission timing, plan-of-care updates within 60 days, IDG composition documentation, and so on.
What are typical CMS CMPs?
CMS Civil Money Penalties run from $5,000-$25,000 per day for standard-level deficiencies, up to $50,000+ per day for condition-level deficiencies. Pattern violations can result in Medicare termination.
