Meet the 2028 HOPD Attestation Deadline with Confidence.

Comprehensive compliance for hospital outpatient departments. We extract your documentation, identify your gaps, and deliver MAC-ready attestation packages. You approve and submit.

75%+

of hospitals sampled by the OIG had at least one off-campus site that failed a provider-based requirement.

Federal funding for enforcement

Why this matters now

The first mandatory HOPD attestation cycle in a generation.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 eliminated the option to stay quiet. Every off-campus HOPD must attest or lose OPPS billing eligibility.

No grandfather clause

The BBA 2015 "excepted" status no longer protects against the attestation and NPI requirements. Every off-campus HOPD must comply regardless of prior status.

Revenue at risk

OPPS reimburses 1.5x to 3x higher than the Physician Fee Schedule. A single high-volume location can lose $500K to $2M+ in annual facility fee revenue.

Separate NPI required

Each off-campus HOPD must obtain its own National Provider Identifier. This impacts 340B eligibility, Medicaid enrollment, and commercial contracts.

How it works

We do the work. You approve the result.

Privagent connects to your enterprise systems, extracts documentation, and delivers completed attestation packages. No consulting armies. No spreadsheet chaos.

1

Connect

We connect to your enterprise document repositories: SharePoint, shared drives, EHR, financial systems, and revenue cycle platforms through secure, read-only connectors.

2

Extract and classify

Agents crawl your connected systems, extract relevant documents, and classify them against all 15 regulatory requirements under 42 CFR 413.65.

3

Analyze gaps

A gap analysis engine scores each site across all seven compliance criteria. Cross-site pattern detection identifies systemic issues for organization-wide remediation.

4

Deliver

We assemble completed attestation packages with narrative sections, supporting exhibits, and cross-references. 200+ pages per site, ready for MAC submission.

What you get

Complete compliance engagement, not a consulting project.

Every initial engagement includes all six deliverables at a single per-site price.

Operational Compliance Audit

A site-by-site evaluation of how each off-campus location operates today, mapped against the seven provider-based criteria and the 15 regulatory requirements under 42 CFR 413.65.

Gap Analysis

A weighted scoring report that highlights where each site falls short, with severity ratings and prioritized remediation recommendations.

Remediation Plan

Step-by-step actions to close each identified gap, with owners, timelines, and the documentation artifacts needed to satisfy MAC review.

Attestation Package

A complete, MAC-ready attestation package per site — 200+ pages of narrative, supporting exhibits, and cross-references. Your team approves and submits.

NPI Strategy

A site-level National Provider Identifier roadmap that accounts for 340B eligibility, Medicaid enrollment, and commercial contracting impact.

Staff Training

Role-based training for compliance, finance, and operations leaders so your team can sustain provider-based status after attestation is complete.

After attestation

Ongoing compliance monitoring.

The attestation is the starting line. CMS can audit at any time. The platform keeps you ready.

Periodic Operational Reviews

Recurring site-level reviews to confirm each location continues to operate within the seven provider-based criteria.

Documentation Maintenance

Active monitoring of the documentation set so policies, contracts, and exhibits stay aligned with current operations.

Regulatory Monitoring

Tracking of CMS rulemaking, MAC guidance, and OIG enforcement activity, with impact summaries delivered to your team.

Re-Attestation Preparation

Continuous package readiness so the next attestation cycle is a refresh, not a rebuild.
