CMS published a June 2022 update to the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) Policy Manual. Key updates include:
- Providers should run the PBJ reports in CASPER to ensure accuracy and completeness of the data being submitted. There are eight reports in total that providers can run.
- To maintain the reporting of an employee’s hours through an employee ID change, providers must utilize the Linking Table. Additional information on the creation of a linking table can be found here. It is imperative that employee IDs are linked for accurate tenure and turnover data.
- Administrators and Assistant Administrators, licensed by the state and responsible for facility management as required under 483.70(d), should be reported under job title code 1.
