The Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES) has identified an issue with the data displayed on the SNF Provider Threshold Report. This report enables providers to track their compliance with required data submissions for the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP).
 
Currently, the report does not reflect Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 data submission requirements, which may cause the reported number and percentage of compliant MDS 3.0 Assessments to appear lower than anticipated.
 
iQIES has confirmed that updates are in progress, and CMS anticipates releasing the revised report shortly. Once updated, all assessments with Target Dates (Assessment Reference Dates or ARDs) in Calendar Year 2024 will automatically be recalculated, with results shown in the refreshed report.
 
A follow-up notification will be posted on the iQIES Known Issues page once the update is available. Providers do not need to take any additional action at this time.
