CMS Issues QRP Non-Compliance Letters for FY2026

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on July 21 notified Medicare providers that were determined to be out of compliance with Quality Reporting Program (QRP) requirements for CY 2024, which will affect their FY 2026 Annual Payment Update (APU).

Non-compliance notifications are distributed by the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) and were placed into a hospice's CASPER folders in QIES, and into skilled nursing facility's My Reports folders in the iQIES. Facilities that receive a letter of non-compliance may submit a request for reconsideration to CMS via email no later than 11:59 pm, August 26, 2025.

Home health compliance notifications are expected near the end of the year.
