Mandatory Provider Enrollment Off-Cycle Revalidation for All SNFs 

As HCAM previously shared, on September 19 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that all skilled nursing facility providers will receive off-cycle provider enrollment revalidation notices from their Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) to collect data on ownership, managerial and related party information not previously required. Approximately one-third of SNFs will receive these notices in October, one-third will receive them in November and one-third will receive them in December. Providers must submit the new information in a new Appendix on the Form CMS-855A (09/24) version. Follow this link to get all the details regarding what you need to know and what actions you need to take.

Update: On October 11, CMS communicated new developments regarding the mandatory-off cycle revalidation. CMS is offering providers and vendors some additional support and relief with the reporting requirements:

1. CMS scheduled an Open Door Forum for tomorrow, October 17 to discuss the expanded ownership disclosures.

2. The agency provided an email address so providers can now ask questions directly: [email protected].

3. CMS updated sub-regulatory guidance so that fewer people have to report personal identifiable information including social security numbers and birth dates. 

4. Due to disaster declarations, CMS is extending the revalidation due dates for all SNFs in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee until May 1, 2025.

Webinars: AHCA/NCAL will host two webinars to help skilled nursing providers and vendors understand the mandatory off-cycle revalidation process. Attendance is free for AHCA/NCAL member providers, vendors and REIT partners; however, registration is required. A recording of the webinars will be available on ahcancalED if you are unable to attend live.
