The submission deadline for the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Quality Reporting Programs is Tuesday, November 15. This applies to Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment data and data submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via the CDC NHSN for April 1 – June 30 (Q2) of calendar year 2022. All data must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. on November 15, 2022.
The list of measures required for this deadline is on the
CMS QRP website.
AHCA recommends that providers run applicable Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER)/ Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES)/NHSN analysis reports prior to each quarterly reporting deadline, to ensure that all required data has been submitted.
Swingtech is the Medicare contractor that sends informational messages to SNFs that are not meeting Annual Payment Update (APU) thresholds on a quarterly basis ahead of each submission deadline.
If you need to add or change the email addresses to which these messages are sent, please email QRPHelp@swingtech.com. Be sure to include your facility name and CMS Certification Number (CCN) along with any requested email updates.
Additional Information if Swingtech Reports of NHSN Data Submission Failure
If your facility is currently failing APU due to NHSN submission and the NHSN report indicates that all data has been submitted, it is possible that your provider has multiple OrgIDs under your CCN in NHSN. To determine if this is the cause, contact the NHSN help desk at
NHSN@cdc.gov.
