Operator, licensee, owner, manager, and chain stay separate. A connected organization is not automatically the party that runs daily operations.
Ownership
These are CMS-published ownership disclosures. Medicare enrollment ownership and managerial-control information is reported by enrolled providers through CMS forms; it is not an independent determination of beneficial ownership.
No matched current ownership party records were found in the loaded CMS sources.
Roles are shown as CMS publishes them. Different CMS sources can describe different enrollment, ownership, and control concepts, so TrustHub keeps each source-specific disclosure distinct.
