Nursing facilities are required to file an Interim Calendar Year 2026 DCC-Q form by July 31, 2026 through the UMASS online portal. The calendar year 2026 DCC-Q interim filing covers the reporting period January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026. EOHHS and UMASS issued three separate documents to assist providers in completing the Calendar Year 2026 DCC-Q Interim Filing webform. EOHHS/UMASS will notify facilities when they open the webform for data entry.
- CY2026 DCC-Q Interim Instructions – document containing instructions for completing the filing form.
- Interim CY 2026 DCC-Q Sample Template in Excel Format – this Template includes a (1) primary tab to itemize the DCC-Q calculation and a separate (2) supplemental tab for compensation.
- CY2026 DCC-Q FAQ – document that contains answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ).
If facilities have questions on accessing the portal, registering new users, or completing the webform once it is available, please contact nfreporting@umassmed.edu.
