Skilled Nursing Facility VBP Facility Level Data

This dataset contains facility-specific performance information for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program. It includes baseline period (calendar year (CY) 2019) and performance period (CY 2021) risk-standardized readmission rates, achievement scores, improvement scores, performance scores, rankings, and incentive payment multipliers.

Description
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a technical report to provide additional details on the empirical analysis that were considered when developing and finalizing the logistic exchange function that will be used to translate Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) performance scores into incentive payments for the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program. CMS has adopted the logistic exchange function as the method that will be used to translate SNF performance scores into value-based incentive payments beginning in October 2019 (FY 2020).
The Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program awards incentive payments to SNFs based on their performance on the Program’s measure of readmissions. SNF VBP payment incentives will be included on Medicare Part A claims paid under the SNF Prospective Payment System (PPS) as a single line item on each claim paid during the Fiscal Year (FY); no separate payment will be made. SNF VBP incentive payments do not apply to any other type of claims (such as Medicare Advantage claims, Medicaid claims, or Medicaid managed care claims).
Each SNF’s incentive payment will depend on its performance score, which will be placed in the logistic exchange function to determine the corresponding incentive multiplier. The highest scoring facilities will receive the highest payment incentives, and the lowest scoring facilities will receive the lowest payment incentives, as required by statute. CMS provides confidential feedback reports to SNFs on a quarterly and annual basis. Quarterly supplemental workbooks containing patient-level data are provided for quality improvement purposes. SNFs will also receive two annual reports; one report containing a full performance period and their measure score, and the second report containing the SNF performance score, rank, and payment incentive to be applied to Medicare claims in the upcoming fiscal year. SNFs can access all reports through Quality Improvement Evaluation System (QIES) Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) system.

Achievement_Score | A measure of each SNF's achievement in the performance period for the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program; scores range from 0 to 100. | string | - |
Improvement_Score | A measure of each SNF's improvement in the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program from the baseline period to the performance period; scores range from 0 to 90. | string | - |
Performance_Score | The higher of an SNF's achievement score and improvement score; scores range from 0 to 100. This score is used to calculate incentive payments for the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program. | number | level : Ratio |
Incentive_Payment_Multiplier | This multiplier represents the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) payment incentive after taking into account the 2 percent withhold that funds the Program. When making payments to SNF claims, the adjusted federal per diem rate will be multiplied by this factor. For example, an incentive payment multiplier of 0.99 would reflect a net payment reduction of 1 percent. | number | level : Ratio |

CMS suppressed the use of SNF readmission measure data for purposes of FY 2023 scoring and payment adjustments in the FY 2023 SNF VBP Program year because the continuing effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency on the data used to calculate the SNF 30-Day All-Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM) inhibited CMS's ability to make fair national comparisons of SNFs' performance. Under the suppression policy, CMS calculated a risk-standardized readmission rate (RSRR) for both the baseline and performance period and then suppressed the use of SNF readmission measure data for purposes of scoring.
