In 2021, the Virginia General Assembly directed the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to establish a nursing facility (NF) Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program designed to improve the quality of care furnished to Medicaid members to begin by July 1, 2022. DMAS has posted the document Final DMAS SFY 2023 NF VBP Program Methodology on the website to outline the program for state fiscal year 2023. The document can be found here: https://www.dmas.virginia.gov/media/4207/final-dmas-sfy-2023-nf-vbp-program-methodology.pdf. We appreciate your comments.
