  2. incentive bonus payments per $1M in claims. Higher values are better. This dollar amount represents the incentive payments that would be made, based on the published incentive payment multiplier, on claims of $1M. Note that the documentation states: "This multiplier represents the SNF VBP payment incentive after taking into account the 2% withhold that funds the Program. When making payments to SNF claims, the adjusted federal per diem rate will be multiplied by this factor. For example, an incentive payment multiplier of 0.99 would reflect a net payment reduction of 1%." Currently, the source data uses a neutral payment incentive multiplier of "1" whenever a data entry states that a facility"... did not have sufficient data to calculate a performance score." For our benchmarking purposes, we have replaced this neutral multiplier with N/A for not applicable.
