All providers should have received revalidation notices from their MAC intermediary on a staggered basis in late 2023. Despite the dates found in those notices, all providers have until August 1, 2025, to submit the required information in PECOS to keep their enrollment status active. Failure to submit your completed revalidation forms by the August 1 deadline will result in your Medicare provider number being suspended or deactivated. This action would lead to all Medicare billing being paused until the provider is determined to be in compliance with the reporting requirements again.
This mandatory off-cycle revalidation process will now utilize the newly added Attachment 1: Skilled Nursing Facility Disclosures workpaper instead of Sections 5 & 6 of the enrollment form to complete this reporting.
Instructions on how to complete the new appendix section can be found here: SNF Attachment Public Subreg Guidance (cms.gov).
More information about the rulemaking behind the new mandatory reporting can be found here: Disclosures of Ownership and Additional Disclosable Parties Information for Skilled Nursing Facilities and Nursing Facilities; Definitions of Private Equity Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts for Medicare Providers and Suppliers | CMS
