QRP Data Submission
Deadline Extended
Yesterday, CMS notified providers they would
be delaying the QRP data submission deadlines due to SNF QRP report issues. As
a result, CMS said in a notice published yesterday that it is working to change
the data submission deadlines for quarters one, two and three of Calendar Year
2017 to the deadline for quarter four. In that case, all data for
assessment-based measures would remain open for modifications until May 15,
2018. CMS said it also will apply that deadline for all quarters of reporting
to the Fiscal Year 2019 payment update determinations. The CMS notice is
included below:
Update: SNF QRP Report Issues & Data Submission
Deadline Extension
|
We
recently notified Skilled Nursing Facility providers that we found two
issues in our technical coding of the Review and Correct Report, one of
which also affects the Confidential Feedback Report (due for release in
October 2017).
Due to technical coding
issues, CMS is working on modifying the assessment measure data
submission deadline dates for quarters one, two and three of Calendar
Year 2017 to coincide with the quarter four Calendar Year 2017 deadline
of May 15, 2018.
Further guidance and timelines has been posted
to the SNF Quality Reporting Program Data Submission
Deadlines webpage.
