CMS to Suspend Deadline for SNF Off-Cycle Revalidation

CMS to Suspend Deadline for SNF Off-Cycle Revalidation

 

CMS is expected to announce an indefinite suspension of the submission deadline for the mandatory Medicare provider off-cycle revalidation for Skilled Nursing Facilities. The current reporting deadline of January 1, 2026 will no longer apply while this suspension is in effect.

What is SNF Off-Cycle Revalidation?

SNF off-cycle revalidation is a CMS directed process requiring skilled nursing facilities to resubmit and validate enrollment information in Medicare outside of the standard 5-year revalidation cycle. It is used by CMS to confirm ownership, managing control, practice location, and compliance with Medicare enrollment requirements.

A formal update from CMS with additional details is anticipated soon. HTS will share official guidance and next steps with our partners as soon as it is released.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Please watch for further updates.
