REMINDER: August 1 Mandatory SNF Provider Enrollment Revalidation Deadline

CMS; Regulations
 
​​Skilled nursing facility (SNF) providers enrolled in Medicare or Medicare/Medicaid must submit a mandatory off-cycle provider enrollment revalidation by August 1, 2025, or risk having enrollment suspended or revoked. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued this mandatory process last September and extended the deadline following AHCA/NCAL advocacy efforts for relief on the extensive new reporting requirements.   

AHCA/NCAL continues to advocate for additional relief. However, as this deadline still stands, it is important for SNF providers notified by their MAC to ensure completion of the revalidation submission process by August 1. CMS recently issued a reminder  in its MLN Connects newsletter and will soon send reminders through MACs to SNF providers that are required to complete the process by this deadline but have not yet done so.   
 
AHCA/NCAL Resources   
AHCA/NCAL offers a variety of SNF provider enrollment resources available on the Reimbursement webpage under Resources and Documents. SNF providers should also review the two most recent AHCA/NCAL office hours calls – March 28 and April 4 – that reflect the updated changes to the sub-regulatory guidance. The call recordings and downloadable slides are available. 

Please contact 855Revalidation@ahca.org with any questions.

CMS Resources   
SNF providers can find detailed sub-regulatory guidance information on the new organizations and individual parties required to be reported on the CMS website. CMS also offers a step-by-step screenshot of instructions on completing an application via the Medicare Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS).  

If you need support with PECOS, please contact the External User Services (EUS) Help Desk via email or call (866) 484-8049. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7 AM – 7 PM Eastern. 
 
Providers unsure about whether they are required to submit the revalidation information should contact their MAC provider enrollment helpdesk.
