Frequently Asked Questions

Why Choose CMSCG for Survey Readiness?

CMSCG consultants have extensive experience with the survey process, having lived through it themselves and providing on-site support to clients during actual surveys.

We use proprietary analytics and data to help clients understand how issues are being identified by their local survey teams no matter where they are located.

What If We Have Corporate/ Regional Staff?

CMSCG routinely works with organizations that have their own resources in place. Internal mock surveys are a great tool. CMSCG Mock Surveys provide an unbiased set of eyes, allowing the review to more accurately reflect the third-party review by the actual survey team.

Can You Do a Remote Mock Survey?

CMSCG’s philosophy is that for an organization to receive the biggest benefit of a mock survey, it should be on-site. However, we recognize that for some providers, that just isn’t feasible. We can work with you on a custom solution to help fit your needs.

Can You Assist New Management?

CMSCG consultants work with our clients to provide management assistance and mentoring to individuals who are new to their role or who could use some additional mentoring to assist with compliance knowledge.
