# §488.604. Termination of Medicare coverage.

- (a) Except as otherwise provided in this subpart, failure of a supplier of ESRD services to meet one or more of the conditions for coverage set forth in [part 494](/cfr/42/part494.md) of this chapter will result in termination of Medicare coverage of the services furnished by the supplier.
- (b) If termination of coverage is based solely on a supplier's failure to participate in network activities and pursue network goals, as required at [§ 494.180(i)](/cfr/42/494.180.md?p=i) of this chapter, coverage may be reinstated when CMS determines that the supplier is making reasonable and appropriate efforts to meet that condition.
- (c) If termination of coverage is based on failure to meet any of the other conditions specified in [part 494](/cfr/42/part494.md) of this chapter, coverage will not be reinstated until CMS finds that the reason for termination has been removed and there is reasonable assurance that it will not recur.
