CMS's description
The Medicare Post-Acute Care (PAC) Utilization - Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) by Geography, Provider and Service supplemental dataset provides detailed information on payments and utilization for SNFs. For Fiscal Years (FY)s 2014-2019, data is organized by provider and Resource Utilization Group (RUG) type. Starting in FY 2020, following the shift to the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM), the dataset no longer includes RUG-level data. Instead, it features therapy minutes by discipline, stays by clinical category, and the percentage of stays involving depression or swallowing disorders.
