Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities
Provider Preview Reports
Provider preview reports are now available for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). IRFs have until April 5, 2018, to review their performance on quality measures based on data from quarter 3 of 2016 to quarter 2 of 2017, prior to their posting to the IRF Compare website in June 2018. Access instructions for the provider reports are available online. Corrections to the underlying data will not be permitted during this time. However, providers can request review by CMS during the preview period if they believe their data are inaccurate.
