AHCA has developed a six-part course, Understanding SNF VBP in Detail, to provide an in-depth description of each feature of the CMS Skilled Nursing Facility Value Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) program along with helpful tools, documents, and primary source references to the program.

This course covers how CMS calculates the 1) rehospitalization rates, including risk adjustments, 2) a facility’s performance score, and 3) the resulting incentive payment multiplier, which is used to adjust a facility’s Part A payments.

Now is the time to learn how to succeed under SNF VBP. Register today for Understanding SNF VBP in Detail.

Modules also provide demonstrations on how to access and interpret CMS feedback reports, like the SNF VBP Performance Score Report containing your incentive payment multiplier information, and AHCA’s SNF VBP prediction tool that allows a facility to estimate the financial impact different rehospitalization rates will have on their revenue. 

The registration fee for members for the SNF VBP on-line course is $25. Please note, the individual who wants to take the SNF VBP course must login to ahcancalED and register for the course under their individual login.
