CMS Revalidation Deadline Extended to Jan. 1, 2026

On July 17, 2025 by Mark Schulz

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has extended the deadline for off-cycle Medicare provider revalidation to Jan. 1, 2026 — a significant shift from the previously announced Aug. 1, 2025 deadline. This marks the third postponement of the requirement.

Important Note: The extension offers much-needed relief to nursing homes still working to meet the updated reporting obligations. While the extension provides more time, the reporting requirement itself remains in effect. CMS is expected to formally announce the extension soon.

Facilities should continue preparing to comply and avoid delays closer to the new deadline. For more details about how and what to submit, please review our posting discussing those details here.
