Nursing Home Off-Cycle Revalidation Due Date Delayed
(April 22, 2025) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has again delayed the due date for nursing homes to submit Form 855A with expanded ownership, management, and related party data. The new due date is Aug. 1st. The form itself is here. Guidance for completing the form that includes a set of frequently asked questions was updated on April 9th and is available here.
Although the process began at the end of 2024, there remain questions, especially regarding the seemingly very inclusive scope of required Additional Disclosable Parties (ADPs). LeadingAge National recently published an article with hints and resource links regarding submitting the form that is available to members here. Questions that are not addressed in the guidance document can be addressed to SNFDisclosures@cms.hhs.gov or to National Government Services, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for NYS. Members may want to consult their counsel as well, given that CMS has stressed that it cannot provide guidance on each unique situation. General information on the requirement is available here.
