Get answers to common questions about CMP funding eligibility, application processes, and program implementation.
CMP (Civil Money Penalty) funds are collected by CMS from facilities that have been cited for regulatory violations. These funds are redistributed to qualifying skilled nursing facilities to support quality improvement initiatives. The funding is designed to enhance resident care, staff training, technology implementation, and overall facility operations—without requiring facilities to use their own operational budgets.
Most skilled nursing facilities are eligible to apply for CMP funding. Eligibility requirements vary by state and program category, but generally include: being a Medicare/Medicaid certified facility, maintaining good standing with state survey agencies, and demonstrating a commitment to quality improvement. Our initial consultation will determine your specific eligibility and identify the best funding opportunities for your facility.
The timeline varies by program and state, but typically: Initial consultation and assessment (1 week), application preparation and submission (2-4 weeks), state review and approval (4-12 weeks). Once approved, funding is typically disbursed within 30-60 days. We handle all paperwork and follow-up, keeping you informed throughout the entire process.
The number of programs depends on the CMP bucket category. Some buckets allow only 1 program selection (Family & Resident Council, Consumer Information, Workforce, Technology, Mental Health), Quality of Care & Training allows up to 3 programs, and Quality of Life allows unlimited program applications. Our team will help you strategically select programs that maximize your funding potential while meeting your facility's specific needs.
While our success rate is very high due to our expertise in CMS regulations and application requirements, if an application is denied, we work with you to understand the reasons and determine if reapplication or appeal is appropriate. We also identify alternative funding opportunities within other CMP buckets or programs that may be a better fit for your facility's situation.

Minimal. We designed the CMP JumpStart Program specifically to reduce your administrative burden. Your initial time investment is approximately 30 minutes for the consultation and assessment.
