CMS has posted the FY 2024 SNF VBP Program Performance Score Report User Guide.
This (14-page) user guide accompanies the Performance Score Report (PSR) for the fiscal year (FY) 2024 Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program year. It describes the data in each worksheet of the PSR and provides reference information and instructions for interpreting those data. The guide includes four sections:
1. Overview
2. Background
3. PSR File Contents and Descriptions
4. Contacts and Additional Resources
The PSR is available to download in Microsoft Excel format from the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES). Section I.B of this guide provides instructions on how to access your facility’s PSR in iQIES.
The PSR contains your skilled nursing facility’s (SNF’s) performance results for the FY 2024 SNF VBP Program year. The results include the incentive payment multiplier (IPM) that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will apply to your SNF’s Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) Part A claims in FY 2024, from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024.
CMS assesses SNFs’ performance on the SNF 30-Day All-Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM) during a baseline period and a performance period. In Table 1, we provide the baseline and performance periods for the FY 2024 Program year, as finalized through rulemaking.
