CMS Orders Nursing Homes to Resume Reporting Staffing Data as COVID-19 Waiver Expires
Nursing homes must resume the submission of staffing data to the federal government later this summer after the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) allowed an emergency COVID-19 waiver to expire.
CMS on Thursday announced that facilities must report their payroll-based journal (PBJ) staffing data for the second quarter of 2020 by August 14, ending a temporary suspension of the requirement that the agency implemented as part of broader COVID-19 paperwork waivers.
