[Free Webinar] Quarterly PBJ Webinar: Q3 2026 Edition
CMS has announced that PBJ submission will move into iQIES on Aug. 17, 2026. While PBJ reporting requirements and quarterly deadlines are not changing, the transition may affect day-to-day workflows, including user access, submission processes, internal responsibilities and vendor readiness.
In this quarterly PBJ webinar, Simple experts will walk through what skilled nursing facilities should know as PBJ submission moves into iQIES, including practical steps teams can consider before the transition.
Jolene Johnson from Luminate Healthcare Consulting will also cover PBJ audits and staffing data accuracy, including why facilities should be prepared to validate, explain and support the PBJ data they submit. As CMS places closer attention on staffing data, she’ll share practical reminders around data review, documentation and process consistency that can help teams strengthen their PBJ reporting approach.
Stick around and don’t miss the Q&A section at the end of the webinar.
