6.) New Process 

In June of 2023, CMS began disseminating the **SNF VBP Program's** quarterly **confidential feedback reports** via **iQIES**.  Seeing this process is fairly new, some of the facility staff may be unaware of this change. Please do not judge because there are a significant amount of changes that occur and it is very difficult for all to keep up.
