SNF VBP Quarterly Feedback Reports Available

The December 2022 Quarterly Confidential Feedback Reports for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (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 facility- and stay-level data and results for the SNF 30-Day All-Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM) for FY 2019, which will be used as the baseline period for the FY 2024 SNF VBP Program. Members may recall that facility-specific VBP payment adjustments are suspended in FY 2023, with providers receiving a uniform reduction to meet the statutory savings requirement. Facility-specific adjustments, which can be either positive or negative, are expected to return in FY 2024.

SNFs may submit corrections to their FY 2019 readmission measure rate until Dec. 31, 2022. Corrections are limited to errors made by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or its contractors when calculating a SNF’s readmission measure rate. SNFs must submit correction requests to SNFVBP@rti.org with the subject line “SNF VBP Review and Correction Inquiry” along with the SNF’s CMS Certification Number (CCN), SNF’s name, correction request, and reason for the request.

The reports can only be accessed via the CASPER reporting system. Please contact the QIES Technical Support Office Help Desk at iqies@cms.hhs.gov if you have questions. More information on the SNF VBP Program is available here.
