A change of ownership (CHOW) typically occurs when a Medicare provider has been purchased (or leased) by another organization. The CHOW results in the transfer of the previous owner’s Medicare Identification Number and provider agreement (including the previous owner's outstanding Medicare debts) to the new owner. The regulatory citation for CHOWs is in the Code of Federal Regulations: 42 CFR 489.18 (PDF, 143 KB) CHOW Reminders
