Prospective Payment System and Consolidated Billing for Skilled Nursing Facilities; Updates to the Quality Reporting Program and Value-Based Purchasing Program for Federal Fiscal Year 2026 (CMS-1843-P)

On April 2, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule (CMS-1843-P) that provides updates to the fiscal year (FY) 2026 Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP). In this proposed rule, CMS is proposing the removal of two COVID-19 measures, revising the data submission deadline, and requiring the submission of Minimum Data Set data on all SNF residents receiving covered skilled care in a SNF, regardless of payer. The proposed rule went on display at the Federal Register and will be available at: https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection
