On December 3, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granted a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) which requires U.S. reporting companies to report beneficial owner information to the U.S. Treasury.

Skilled nursing facilities will soon be required to significantly expand their reporting of ownership and control information on newly updated CMS-855A forms. Private equity companies and other organizations like real estate investment trusts have been named as one of the reasons that the expanded reporting for SNFs has been implemented. As such, these organizations should be aware that they may be a part of this reporting through a number of routes.

Over the past 24 months, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights has brought notable enforcement efforts against several non-profit covered entities and business associates, resulting in instances of six and seven-figure penalties against providers across the county for incidents involving breaches of protected health information.
