The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released notifications on August 5, 2026, notifying providers that were determined to be out of compliance with Quality Reporting Program (QRP) requirements for Calendar Year (CY) 2025, which will affect their Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Annual Payment Update (APU). Non-compliance notifications were sent to providers’ My Reports folders in the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES), for hospices and skilled nursing facilities and are additionally being distributed by the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs). Facilities that receive a letter of non-compliance may submit a request for reconsideration to CMS via email no later than 11:59 pm, September 4.

If you receive a notice of non-compliance and would like to request a reconsideration, see the instructions in your notice of non-compliance and on the appropriate QRP webpage:
