Summary
Nursing facility provider agreements in New Jersey will no longer have expiration dates. Facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs are now subject to continuous participation with recertification requirements rather than time-limited agreements. Nursing facilities must maintain compliance with all Federal and State laws and regulations.
Action Required
Nursing facility providers in New Jersey must: (1) Update internal credentialing and contract tracking systems to reflect that provider agreements no longer expire on a fixed date; (2) Establish a process to monitor recertification notices from the New Jersey Department of Health and Provider Enrollment Unit; (3) Ensure ongoing compliance with all Federal and State Medicare and Medicaid regulations; (4) Flag any recertification communications from the Department of Health for immediate review by compliance and billing leadership. Failure to maintain recertification status will result in loss of Medicare and Medicaid participation.
