  • CMS Update on Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ)
July 5, 2018

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced that starting in July 2018 it will post the number of hours worked by non-nursing staff (all staff listed in Table 1 of the PBJ Policy Manual) submitted through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system. CMS will also begin to distinguish between hours submitted for direct employees and contract staff.  

The American Health Care Association (AHCA) has prepared a detailed memorandum in regard to updates and timeline reminders related to the PBJ.
