On March 22, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced administrative burden relief for providers participating in various quality programs during the COVID-19 outbreak. CMS recognizes that quality measure data collection and reporting for services furnished during this time of emergency may not be reflective of their true level of performance on measures such as cost and readmissions and seeks to hold organizations harmless for not submitting data during this period. Specific to SNFs, CMS is implementing exceptions and extensions for upcoming measure reporting and data submission deadlines for Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program and the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program.
