The March 2026 Quarterly Confidential Feedback Reports for the fiscal year (FY) 2027 Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program are now available to download via the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES).
These reports contain consolidated summaries of SNFs’ historical measure results, performance scores, and incentive payment multipliers for the SNF VBP Program for the FY 2019 through FY 2026 program years. SNFs may use this information to review and monitor their performance in the SNF VBP Program over time. The historical information in this report is available for reference and will not be used for future incentive payment calculations in the SNF VBP Program; therefore, it is not eligible for the SNF VBP Program’s review and correction process.
