On June 18, 2025, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a QSO Memo, “Release of CMS-2567: Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction.” The Memo notes that the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies and Plan of Correction will be publicly releasable within 14 days after receipt by the provider. Prior CMS practice was to hold the release of the SOD/POC for 90 days after the completion of the survey, but this will no longer be the case. This announcement comes as CMS is moving forward with the switch to iQIES in mid-July 2025, which will make survey data available more quickly.
