In an email on Monday, July 24, 2017, CMS stated that Skilled Nursing Home Providers have been notified if they were determined to be non-compliant with SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) requirements for Quarter 4 of CY 2016, which will affect their FY 2018 APU.  Non-compliance notifications were placed into providers’ CASPER folders in QIES on July 14, 2017 and also mailed directly to providers. Providers that receive a letter of non-compliance may submit a request for reconsideration to CMS via email no later than 11:59pm PST, August 13, 2017. If you receive a notice of non-compliance and would like to request a reconsideration, see the instructions in your notification letter and on the SNF Quality Reporting Reconsideration and Exception & Extension webpage.

For guidance on this issue visit the CMS website.

The website also has information on training as well as the reconsideration process.
