The March 2023 Quarterly Confidential Feedback Reports for the FY 2024 SNF VBP Program are now available to download via the Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (QIES)/Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER) reporting system. These reports contain interim stay-level data for the SNF 30-Day All-Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM) for 10/1/2021 – 6/30/2022 (Quarter 1 – Quarter 3 of FY 2022, the FY 2024 SNF VBP Program performance period). The interim data contained in these reports are not final and are subject to change; thus, they are not eligible for the SNF VBP Program’s Review and Correction process.
For assistance obtaining access to your SNF’s report, which can only be accessed via the CASPER reporting system, contact the QIES Technical Support Office Help Desk at iqies@cms.hhs.gov.

The FY 2023 SNF PPS final rule is now available. This rule finalizes several updates for the SNF VBP Program, including a policy to suppress the Skilled Nursing Facility 30-Day All Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM) for the FY 2023 SNF VBP Program Year for scoring and payment adjustment purposes. We are also adding two new measures to the SNF VBP Program beginning with the FY 2026 SNF VBP Program year and one additional new measure beginning with the FY 2027 Program year, and updating the scoring methodology beginning with the FY 2026 Program year.
