CMS has released the FY 2027 Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Proposed Rule, outlining a new set of updates that will impact payment, quality reporting, value-based purchasing and data submission requirements.
As with prior years, these changes extend beyond policy language and will directly influence how facilities are evaluated, reported and reimbursed.
In this session, our experts will break down the most important components of the FY 2027 Proposed Rule, including updates to SNF payment rates, Quality Reporting Program (QRP) requirements and Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program changes. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of what is changing, what timelines to be aware of and how these updates may impact operations.
We will also review key Requests for Information (RFIs) included in the proposed rule and what they signal about future regulatory direction across quality reporting, payment models and care delivery.
