What is a moratorium?

A moratorium is a temporary suspension or halt on the enrollment of new providers or suppliers in specific categories or geographic areas. CMS implements moratoria (plural form of moratorium) as a program integrity measure to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) by stopping the enrollment of new providers in areas or categories where there is a significant potential for FWA.
