Use the Payroll-Based Journal to submit required information November 16 is the final deadline for the now-required quarterly electronic submission of staffing data for long-term-care facilities. As of July 1, 2016, electronic submission of staffing data through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) is mandatory for all long-term-care facilities. There is a grace period of up to 45 days after the end of the quarter to submit data for the first reporting period (July 1, 2016-September 30, 2016), so the final submission file for this quarter is due on November 14, 2016. All nursing homes are required to register to submit data in order to meet this requirement and maintain compliance. Since this is new, the data submitted is not expected to be perfect, however all facilities are expected to submit data by the deadline. Facilities that are not compliant with this reporting requirement may be subject to sanctions or actions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). For example, we may post information related to compliance with this requirement on nursing home compare or the Five Star Quality Rating System. According to recent data from CMS, nearly 18% of Nevada providers have not yet registered with the PBJ. For more information, download the quick reference guide below.
