CMS has extended the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) deadlines for calendar year (CY) 2017. MDS data for January-December (Q1-Q4) of CY 2017 is due May 15, 2018. Providers are encouraged to verify their MDS submissions on at least a quarterly basis.
It is recommended that the applicable CMS CASPER validation reports are run prior to each quarterly reporting deadline to ensure that all required data were submitted. We encourage you to verify all facility information prior to submission, including CCN and facility name.
View the list of measures required for the May 15, 2018, deadline on the SNF Quality Reporting Program Data Submission Deadlines webpage.
