Reminder: Off-Cycle Revalidations Due in Three Weeks
(July 8, 2025) Nursing home members should keep in mind that the deadline for submitting Form 855A reporting expanded ownership, management, and related party data to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) remains Aug. 1st. All Medicare-certified nursing homes must complete this off-cycle revalidation, which is separate and apart from on-cycle periodic Medicare revalidations. An article from LeadingAge National provides key information and links to recent educational webinars that are available to purchase and view on demand.
The form itself is here (the section relevant to off-cycle revalidation submissions starts on p. 52), the most recent guidance document with Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (updated in May 2025) is here, while background information is here and some helpful resources on completing the form are here. Questions are being fielded at SNFDisclosures@cms.hhs.gov and by Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) (National Government Services for NYS). The form is submitted through the Medicare Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS).
