These requests will also be subject to unannounced site visits and fingerprint background checks for all direct and indirect owners with 5% or more ownership. Providers undergoing revalidation on or after June 1, 2025, will also be screened at the higher risk level as part of the revalidation process according to Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, section 455.450.
