CMS Extends Deadline for All Mandatory Off-Cycle SNF Provider Enrollment Revalidations (SNF)

On November 5, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) extended the due date to May 1, 2025, to submit the new Form CMS-855A SNF Disclosures Attachment 1 nationwide for all SNF revalidations and for all “pending as of October 1” applications. This replaces the original 90-day period that was required to submit information (with exception of states impacted by the recent hurricanes) within receiving notice from a respective Medicare Administrative Contractor between October and December 2024. 

This is one of two updates posted by CMS over the past week to its sub regulatory guidance related to this revalidation process. It also contains new technical guidance, clarifications, and answers to FAQs to assist providers in submitting the required information, including clarification on: 

• The number of organizational charts that must be submitted (see Section (VI)(C)) 
• Clinical consulting services and policies/procedures (see new Section VI(G))) 
• Sections (III)(E)(i) and (ii) that both categories of bulleted parties must be reported.
