DEADLINE REMINDER: Mandatory SNF Provider Enrollment Revalidation Due January 1 (SNF)
Skilled nursing facility providers enrolled in Medicare or Medicare/Medicaid must submit a mandatory off-cycle provider enrollment revalidation by January 1, 2026, or risk having enrollment suspended or revoked. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) extended the deadline from August 1, 2025, to January 1, 2026, following our national association’s advocacy efforts asking for relief on the extensive new reporting requirements.
The association continues to advocate for additional relief. However, as this deadline still stands, it is important for providers who have been notified by their Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) to ensure that they complete the revalidation submission process by January 1. Contact your MAC provider enrollment helpdesk if you are not sure of your revalidation status.
