CMS Memo Confirms PBJ Submission Deadline and Provides Five-Star Updates
On June 25, CMS released a QSO memo updating changes to the staffing and quality domains of Five-Star due to COVID-19.
With this memo, CMS immediately ends the blanket emergency waiver of 42 CFR 483.70(q), which requires nursing home providers to submit staffing data through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system.
