The June 2024 Quarterly Confidential Feedback Reports for the fiscal year (FY) 2025 Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program are now available to download via the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES).

These reports contain facility and stay-level data for the SNF 30-Day All-Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM) for FY 2023, the FY 2025 SNF VBP Program performance period. These results will be used for the FY 2025 SNF VBP Program year scoring and incentive payment calculations that will take effect October 1, 2024. Performance scores and incentive payment multipliers for the FY 2025 SNF VBP Program year will be disseminated in the August 2024 Performance Score Reports.

SNFs may submit corrections to their FY 2023 readmission measure rate up to 30 days following this report being made available, until July 3, 2024. Corrections are limited to errors made by 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 your SNF's CMS Certification Number (CCN), SNF's name, correction request, and reason for requesting the correction.
