+ The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) audits
a sample of patient records to make sure that reported numbers are accurate.
The CMS process lags several months behind and so our most recent results
have not been validated by CMS yet. Our validation scores are consistently
good and we anticipate that the results shown accurately reflect performance
for that interval.
