A Vision for SNFs Based on Value and Outcomes
In this opening live virtual session, former CMS Administrator Seema Verma will share her recommendations to improve care in skilled facilities. An open critic of the Biden Administration’s plan for punitive regulations, Verma will lay out her vision that instead focuses on:
- Federal and state value-based reimbursement that rewards quality and outcomes

- Reimbursement for telehealth services for SNF-eligible care
