As a reminder, nursing centers should submit their Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) data for the quarter running from April 1 – June 30, 2018 in advance of the August 14 filing deadline.  Providers should work to catch and fix errors in their data to allow time to make any needed corrections.

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the latest Open Door Forum call, data must be successfully submitted by the deadline to be used in the Five-Star Rating System on Nursing Home Compare.
