CMS Starting Off-Cycle Revalidation of All SNFs Beginning October 1, 2024
In an effort to increase transparency about skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has revised the CMS-855A form (09/24) and has instructed the Medicare Administrative Contractors (“MACs”) to send off-cycle revalidation notices to one-third of the nation’s SNFs each month starting October through December of this year. Also, as of October 1, 2024, all SNFs that are enrolling, revalidating, reactivating, or undergoing change of ownership (“CHOW”) must submit the new CMS-855A form.
