All data must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. on November. 18. Providers should run applicable CASPER analysis reports prior to each quarterly reporting deadline to ensure that all required data has been submitted. Swingtech sends messages to skilled nursing facilities that are not meeting APU thresholds on a quarterly basis ahead of each submission deadlines. If you need to add or change the email addresses to which these messages are sent, email QRPHelp@swingtech.com and include your setting name and CMS Certification Number (CCN) along with any requested email updates.
