CMS issued the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 final rule for SNFs Prospective Payment System; among its 451 pages, CMS mapped out four years’ worth of changes to the SNF Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP) and SNF Value Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) program. Undoubtedly, these changes will have an impact on nursing home operations and budgets. It’s critically important for providers to assess their current state as how SNFs report and perform beginning in FY 2024 will impact their outcome in future program years.
