What’s happening: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has begun notifying skilled-nursing facilities (SNFs) of new requirements to report detailed information about ownership and management.
What else to know: SNFs must disclose this information on the updated Medicare Enrollment Application (CMS-855A) form attachment, for which CMS has provided additional guidance. Over the next few months, CMS will give all SNFs, including hospital-based SNFs, direction on submitting a revalidation application with the information.
CMS also advises SNFs to consult with their organization’s legal counsel regarding completion.
