CMS has announced that while the deadline for submitting PBJ data has been extended, it is still required to be submitted.  Previously, the PBJ data from January 1-March 31 had a deadline of May 15^th.  This deadline has now been extended and is due at the same time as the April 1-June 30 data on August 14^th.

While we welcome CMS flexibility in these difficult times, we encourage you to submit your PBJ data as timely as possible.

CMS will be providing information as soon as possible on what impact this extended deadline may have on what is reported on the Nursing Home Compare website and Five-Star Quality Rating System.
