CMS COMPLIANCE

When the CMS mandates clear communications, providers demonstrate it with metrics

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) stipulates clarity requirements.

The VisibleThread Language Analysis Platform allows you to:

CMS Clarity Requirements

#3.2 Keep your sentences simple and relatively short

Use as few words as possible for each sentence, and one idea per sentence.

#3.1 Write in a conversational style, using active voice

Active voice builds trust. Use it to make your writing style accessible.

#3.7 Don't overuse technical terms and acronyms

Don’t use “insider-speak” or jargon that you’re reader won’t understand.

#3.8 Write as simple as you can for your audience

The average American reads at an 8th grade level. Write simply to be understood.

“If members with easy-to-answer questions find their answers, the call center load reduces. Demand on the call center can drop 10-30% if you fix upstream.”
