Attendance on Demand, Inc. Ready to Comply with New Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) Reporting Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities
Livonia, Michigan (PRWEB) July 06, 2016 -- Attendance on Demand, Inc. is pleased to announce a new software version for Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) reporting. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) modified its specification for the PBJ import file. CMS required the new format as of June 27, 2016. An updated export, compliant with the CMS version 2 specification, is now available from Attendance on Demand.
Beginning July 1, 2016, long-term care (LTC) facilities are now required to report daily staffing and census information for each fiscal quarter through the online PBJ system to the CMS. In addition to census data, CMS expects detailed accounts of each employee’s service, including job title, services performed, and daily number of hours worked.
CMS also requires hours to be reported by calendar day – midnight to midnight – not the way many facilities track time. Hours for shifts that cross midnight have to be split for PBJ reporting. Attendance on Demand’s PBJ reporting feature does this automatically without changing the way the facility’s operational reports or employee time cards display time.
“Many facilities are still unclear about their PBJ reporting strategy,” said Beth Baerman, Director of Compliance and Communications at Attendance on Demand, Inc. “Attendance on Demand can help remove the burden of PBJ reporting. It also automates status determination and reporting for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), another hardship for LTC facilities.”
