2026 Nursing Home Annual Reporting

As part of the Division’s commitment to Teach, Learn and Collaborate, the Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) is providing advanced notice to nursing home providers regarding the upcoming annual reporting period. Nursing home licensees are required to submit their annual report using the DQA form and pay the fee as required under Wis. Stat. § 50.03(4)(c)2 and Wis. Stat. § 50.135(2)(a).

On or before September 1, 2026, all nursing homes will receive their annual report packet electronically via email. Nursing homes must review the information contained in the reports and document any changes in the forms provided. These forms must be returned no later than November 1, 2026, to dhsdqabnhrclicensing@dhs.wisconsin.gov.

Failure to submit the required information may result in revocation of your license.

In addition to the annual report, providers must pay an annual inpatient health care facility fee. The invoice with the amount due to the department will be included with your annual report packet. Payment is due November 1, 2026. Payments received after this date will be assessed a $10 per day late fee.

To ensure accurate accounting and avoid late fees and possible collections actions, please follow these steps:

1. Make checks payable to the Division of Quality Assurance.
2. Print the invoice and send the fee remittance slip with your check.
3. Ensure your license number is printed on the check and/or check stub.
4. Send all payments to:

DIVISION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE
BOX 93679
MILWAUKEE, WI 53293-0679
