Final answer:
If CMS does not approve a provider's enrollment request, the consumer will likely have to cover the full cost of services received from that provider.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a consumer sees a provider and their enrollment request is not approved by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), the consumer will not be able to have their healthcare services covered through CMS programs such as Medicare or Medicaid. This can lead to the consumer being responsible for the full cost of services rendered by the provider. It is essential for consumers to ensure that their provider is enrolled and approved by CMS to avoid unexpected healthcare expenses.
