PY 2024 ESRD QIP Final PSRs and PSCs: Now Available

November 13, 2023

Today the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Payment Year (PY) 2024 End-Stage Renal Disease Quality Incentive Program (ESRD QIP) final Performance Score Reports (PSRs) and Performance Score Certificates (PSCs). Authorized facility staff can log into the ESRD Quality Reporting System (EQRS) to view and download these documents.

PY 2024 Final PSR

The PY 2024 final PSR reflects any applicable revisions to your facility’s performance score from those displayed during the preview period. As a reminder, per the Calendar Year (CY) 2023 ESRD Prospective Payment System (PPS) Final Rule, the Standardized Hospitalization Ratio and Standardized Readmission Ratio clinical measures will be expressed as rates beginning in PY 2024. Lastly, CMS finalized a policy in the CY 2022 ESRD PPS Final Rule to calculate the PY 2024 performance standards using CY 2019 data (the most current full calendar year of data) due to significant impacts from the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.

For details regarding the PY 2024 ESRD QIP scoring, please refer to the CY 2022 and CY 2023 ESRD PPS Final Rules that are published online at the Federal Register.

PY 2024 PSC

Facilities are required to download and print both the English and Spanish versions of their PSC and display them in a prominent patient location within the facility. PSCs must be posted by Monday, December 4, 2023, which is 15 business days after they are available. PSCs must remain posted throughout the remainder of 2024, until next year’s PSCs are available.

Save Your Facility’s PY 2024 Documents

Each facility should save an electronic copy of their final PSR and PSC for reference, reprinting, and reposting throughout the year, if needed. The final PSR and PSC can be accessed via the ESRD QIP user interface (UI) in EQRS. For instructions on how to access the ESRD QIP UI, refer to the PY 2024 ESRD QIP UI Quick Start Guide. For additional information about the PSR, refer to the PY 2024 Guide to the ESRD QIP PSR. Both resources are available for download from the QualityNet website: https://qualitynet.cms.gov/esrd/esrdqip.
