Quality Reporting Program: Non-Compliance Letters for CY 2026 APU for Home Health Agencies
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is providing notifications to home health agencies that were determined to be out of compliance with the Home Health Quality Reporting Program (HHQRP) requirements for calendar year (CY) 2026 Annual Payment Update (APU). Non-compliance notifications will be placed into Home Health Agencies (HHA) My Reports folders in iQIES on November 26, 2025. Additionally, the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) will distribute a letter by email or regular mail to non-compliant HHA’s in their service area. HHAs that receive a letter of non-compliance may submit a request for reconsideration to CMS via email no later than 11:59 pm, January 6, 2026. If you receive a notice of non-compliance and would like to request a reconsideration, see the instructions in your notification and on the Home Health Quality Reporting Reconsideration and Exception & Extension webpage.
Please note: Any reconsideration request emails greater than 20 MB in size or containing protected health information (PHI) will not be processed. All PHI must be removed in order for a reconsideration to be reviewed.
