CMS Releases Skilled Nursing Facility PPS Proposed Rule for FY23
CMS has released its proposed Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) rule for fiscal year 2023, which includes a reduction in Medicare payments for SNFs. The proposed payment policies decrease Medicare Part A payments to SNFs by around $320 million in FY 2023, CMS estimated.
The Total Nursing Hours per Resident Day measure would also take effect in FY 2026, which uses auditable electronic data to calculate total nursing hours per resident day.
CMS is also seeking feedback on including a Nursing Home Staff Turnover measure in the VBP program. The measure uses data from the CMS payroll-based journal system and reports annual turnover for nurses.
