| RE: | Extension in Due Date for Payment of the Monthly Occupied Bed Provider Assessment |
The Monthly Occupied Bed Provider Assessment due date for long term care providers for the October 2016 assessment period/July 2016 reporting period, originally due December 15, 2016, has been extended to January 17, 2017.
Please note: Provider assessment revenues are used in part to fund reimbursement to nursing facilities which qualify for expedited payment status. Though HFS continues to process claims for payment and submit them to the Comptroller in a timely manner, actual payments to expedited nursing facilities may be delayed due to cash-flow constraints resulting from the delayed receipt of these revenues
