CMS Further Delays Implementation of Surveyor Guidance Changes

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released QSO-25-14-NH on March 7. The memo updates previously released guidance from November 18, 2024, and January 15, 2025, which included significant updates to surveyor guidance across several regulatory areas.

In this memo, CMS pushed the effective date from March 24, 2025 to April 28, 2025. CMS also noted that revised surveyor resources will be released on April 28, 2025.
