Harvey (Jan. 26, 2005) found concurrent cause for delay and denied delay damages to the contractor. The lesson for contractors is to meet all of your contract requirements that you reasonably can, even when the circumstances may seem to make them superfluous.

CMS Doubles Down on RADV Audit Changes
On January 27, 2026, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a Health Plan Management System (HPMS) memo that provided a long-awaited update on how the agency plans to approach previously announced Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits for Payment Years (PY) 2020-2024. The memo is the agency’s most comprehensive statement on the subject since September 25, 2025, when the Northern District of Texas vacated the 2023 RADV Final Rule. The memo makes clear that, while CMS has made certain operational adjustments in response to concerns expressed by Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), the agency is largely pressing forward with the accelerated audit strategy announced in May 2025.
