A 2-minute self-assessment across four operational pillars — Provider Reliability, Documentation, Coverage Gaps, and Transfer Prevention. Eight factual questions you can answer from memory or a quick records check.
Medicare's SNF Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program withholds 2% of your Part A per-diem revenue and returns it only to facilities with strong 30-day hospital readmission performance. The range runs from full recovery (top-tier performer, $0 lost) to no recovery (bottom-tier performer). Source: CMS SNF VBP Program — 2% Part A withhold.
Direct foregone Part A billing when a resident is sent to the hospital — empty-bed days during the stay plus bed-refill delay — on your reported wound-related transfers (0 in the last 90 days, annualized ×4). Source: MedPAC 2021 median SNF Part A per diem (~$556); likely higher today given annual payment updates.
