SNF Provider Preview Reports – Now Available

Because of the lapse in federal appropriations, scheduled data refreshes and other routine updates were temporarily paused. With the resumption of government operations on November 13, these updates are now being released.
The SNF Provider Preview Reports have been updated and are now available. These reports contain provider performance scores for quality measures, which will be published on the compare tool on Medicare.gov and the Provider Data Catalog (PDC) during the January 2026 release.
  • Data contained within the Provider Preview Reports are based on quality assessment data submitted by SNFs from Quarter 2, 2024 through Quarter 1, 2025.
  • The COVID-19 Vaccine: Percent of Patients/Residents Who Are Up to Date measure and CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage among Healthcare Personnel (HCP) measure reflect data from Quarter 1, 2025.
  • The Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Healthcare Personnel measure from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reflect data from Quarter 4, 2024 through Quarter 1, 2025.
  • The claims-based measures are based on data from Quarter 4, 2022 through Quarter 3, 2024.
  • The SNF Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) measure reflect data from Quarter 4, 2023 through Quarter 3, 2024.
Providers have until December 17, 2025, to review their performance data. Only updates/corrections to the underlying assessment data before the final data submission deadline will be reflected in the publicly reported data on Medicare.gov and PDC. If a provider updates assessment data after the final data submission deadline, the updated data will only be reflected in the Facility-Level Quality Measure (QM) report and Patient-Level QM report. Updates submitted after the final data submission deadline will not be reflected in the Provider Preview Reports or on Medicare.gov. However, providers can request a CMS review of their data during the preview period if they believe the displayed quality measure scores within their Provider Preview Reports are inaccurate.
