SNF QRP Non-Compliance Letters for FY 2026 APU

CMS; Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF)
 
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is providing notifications to facilities that were determined to be out of compliance with the Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP) requirements for CY 2024, which will affect their FY 2026 Annual Payment Update (APU). Non-compliance notifications are being distributed by the Medicare Administrative Contractors and were placed into facilities’ My Reports folders in the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES) on July 21, 2025 

Facilities that receive a letter of non-compliance may submit a request for reconsideration to CMS via email no later than 11:59 pm, August 26, 2025.  

It is recommended that all nursing homes check their folder in iQIES, even if they are not anticipating a notice. If you do receive a notice of non-compliance and would like to request a reconsideration, see the instructions in the SNF Quality Reporting Reconsideration and Exception & Extension page. 

Questions regarding compliance under the SNF QRP may be sent to regulatory@ahca.org.
