[Webinar Recording] SNF Final Rule 2027
CMS has finalized its FY 2027 updates to Medicare payment, quality reporting and value-based purchasing policies for skilled nursing facilities.
The rule includes a 2.4% SNF PPS payment update, changes to QRP measures and submission timelines, new MDS data submission requirements and updates to the SNF VBP Program. It also offers insight into areas CMS may revisit in future rulemaking, including advanced care planning and PDPM case-mix upcoding.
In this webinar, our experts will break down what was finalized, when the changes take effect and what SNF teams should begin preparing for now. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the rule’s impact on reimbursement, MDS, quality, compliance and operational readiness.

I tried multiple times to register for this webinar. I never get a confirmation email. I am the MDS Coordinator for Schuyler County Nursing Home. The DON and Administrator get the emails but I don’t.
