CMS has notified AHCA/NCAL that the mandatory off-cycle SNF provider enrollment revalidation deadline has been pushed back to August 1, 2025. CMS says it will be issuing an MLN article very soon with the formal announcement.

AHCA/NCAL had been advocating for relief on these extensive new reporting requirements since they were announced. As of mid-March, less than 20 percent of SNF providers had submitted revalidation applications, risking Medicare enrollment suspension or revocation for thousands of providers. AHCA/NCAL appreciates that their recent conversations with the administration yielded this helpful outcome for providers. AHCA/NCAL will continue to push for further relief ahead of August 1st.

Additionally, CMS recently updated its sub-regulatory guidance on this issue. This most recent update, the first since December 2024, adds information related to Section (IV)(B)(2) concerning therapy and other types of services. It also adds the new FAQ #18 regarding ADPs.
