The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released notifications on August 5 notifying providers that were determined to be out of compliance with Quality Reporting Program (QRP) requirements for CY 2025, which will affect their FY 2027 Annual Payment Update (APU). Non-compliance notifications were sent to providers’ My Reports folders in the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES), for Hospices and SNFs on August 5 and are additionally being distributed by the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs). Facilities that receive a letter of non-compliance may submit a request for reconsideration to CMS via email no later than 11:59 pm, September 4, 2026.
