Application Statuses Published in the RDS User Guide

CMS' RDS Center has published a list of statuses that an application can reflect throughout the RDS Program Lifecycle. The document can be found in the RDS User Guide under Supplemental Information: Application Statuses. Each status is listed along with a description of when that status will be reflected on a Plan Sponsor’s application.

You may view the status of your application by logging in to the RDS Secure Website and navigating to either of the following pages:

  • Application List page: Application Status is the third column from the left in the Application List table.
  • Application Status page: Application Status is displayed toward the top of the page.
