42 C.F.R. § 405.1837 Group appeal.
Title 42 - Public Health
(a) Criteria for group appeals. Subject to paragraph (b) of this section, a group of providers may bring an appeal before the Board but only if— (1) Each provider in the group is identified as one which would, upon the filing of a request for a hearing before the Board, but without regard to the $10,000 amount in controversy requirement, be entitled to a hearing under §405.1835; (2) The matters at issue involve a common question of fact or of interpretation of law, regulations or CMS Rulings; and (3) The amount in controversy is, in the aggregate, $50,000 or more. (b) Providers under common ownership or control. Effective April 20, 1983, any appeal filed by providers that are under common ownership or control must be brought by the providers as a group appeal in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section with respect to any matters involving an issue common to the providers and for which the amount in controversy is, in the aggregate, $50,000 or more (see §405.1841(a)(2)). A single provider involved in a group appeal that also wishes to appeal issues that are not common to the other providers in the group must file a separate hearing request (see §405.1841(a)(1)) and must separately meet the requirements in §405.1811 or §405.1835, as applicable.
