VBP Performance Score Report Now Available in iQIES

Download your August 2025 Performance Score Reports for the FY 2026 Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program from iQIES. The reports include the incentive payment multiplier CMS will apply to your Part A claims. For FY 2026 claims payments, CMS will multiply the adjusted federal per diem rate by your incentive payment multiplier.

Starting in the FY 2026 Program year, CMS is expanding the SNF VBP Program to assess performance on multiple quality measures rather than a single measure of all-cause hospital readmissions. Performance is based on 4 quality measures:
  1. SNF 30-Day all-cause readmission
  2. SNF health care-associated infections requiring hospitalization
  3. Total nursing staff turnover
  4. Total nurse staffing hours per resident day

Submit corrections until August 31. See the Confidential Feedback Reporting & Review and Corrections webpage for more information. Questions?
