The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is notifying skilled nursing facilities that were found to be out of compliance with Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP) requirements for calendar year (CY) 2025. Facilities that do not meet the reporting requirements will receive a 2-percentage point reduction to their FY 2027 Annual Payment Update (APU).
What You Need to Know
- August 5, 2026: CMS posted non-compliance notification letters in the My Reports folder in the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES). Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) are also distributing notification letters.
- September 4, 2026 (11:59 p.m. ET): Deadline to submit a request for reconsideration if you believe your facility was incorrectly determined to be non-compliant.
