LTC providers have up to 45 days after the end of the quarter to submit PBJ data for Federal Fiscal Quarter 1 (October 1, 2016-December 31, 2016.) The final PBJ submission file for this quarter is due on February 14, 2017. CMS encourages LTC providers to submit as soon as possible and not wait until just before the deadline. CMS has added an indicator to the Nursing Home Compare website that shows whether a provider has complied with the PBJ reporting requirement. If the indicator is green, the provider has submitted data through PBJ. If the indicator is gray, the provider has not submitted any data through PBJ.
