FY 2023 SNF VBP program August 2022 Performance Score Reports (PSRs) are available now in the QIES/CASPER system.

The FY 2023 SNF PPS final rule is now available at https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/current. This rule finalizes several updates for the SNF VBP Program, including a policy to suppress the Skilled Nursing Facility 30-Day All Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM) for the FY 2023 SNF VBP Program Year for scoring and payment adjustment purposes.

Celtic Consulting provide NYSHFA the following details below.

The August 2022 PSR includes:

  • Risk-Standardized Readmission Rate for Baseline Period
  • Risk-Standardized Readmission Rate for Performance Period

Because the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 PHE inhibited CMS’s ability to make fair national comparisons, CMS suppressed the use of SNF readmission measure data as finalized in the FY 2023 SNF PPS final rule. Under the suppression policy, CMS assigned to each SNF:

  • Performance score of 0.00000
  • Incentive payment multiplier of 0.9920000000 for 10/1/22- 9/30/23
  • No achievement score
  • No improvement score
  • No rank 

SNF finance departments need this information to update their software to calculate correct rates beginning 10/1/2022. SNFs may submit correction requests up to 30 days following this report being made available.
