COSMA is considering shifting to a FLAT FEE for site visit expenses. If adopted, programs would pay $5,000 up front and COSMA would pay all costs associated with the site visit. It would eliminate the application fee, honorarium payment, travel, hotel and miscellaneous costs. What do you think of this potential policy change?
