SNF Off-Cycle Provider Enrollment Reporting Delayed Until August 1st

Last week, CMS notified AHCA/NCAL that the mandatory off-cycle SNF provider enrollment revalidation deadline has been pushed back to August 1, 2025.

AHCA/NCAL had been advocating for relief on these extensive new reporting requirements since they were announced. As of mid-March, less than 20 percent of SNF providers had submitted revalidation applications, risking Medicare enrollment suspension or revocation for thousands of providers. Recent conversations with the administration yielded this helpful outcome for providers. AHCA/NCAL will continue to advocate for additional relief ahead of the August 1st implementation date, and WHCA/WiCAL will actively support and amplify these efforts at the state and federal level.

Additionally, CMS recently updated its sub-regulatory guidance on this issue. This most recent update, the first since December 2024, adds information related to Section (IV)(B)(2) concerning therapy and other types of services. It also adds the new FAQ #18 regarding ADPs.
