In October 2019, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services implemented a new federal nursing home payment system, the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM). PDPM changed the reimbursement rules and financial incentives for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). As a result, advocates are already seeing changes in SNF admission practices, and in the provision of therapy services to residents.
