Wage-adjust a rate
Sources: FY2025 SNF PPS correction (CMS-1802-CN) · FY2026 Final Rule (CMS-1827-F) · FY2027 Proposed Rule (CMS-1843-P). Same data the PDPM Calculator applies automatically.
How the adjustment works
Only the labor-related share of a rate is wage-adjusted:
+ rate × (1 − labor share)
The FY2026 SNF labor-related share is 71.9%. A wage index of 1.0000 leaves the rate unchanged; 0.85 trims the labor slice by 15%; 1.20 raises it by 20%. Home health, hospice, IRF, and LTCH each publish their own wage index tables and labor shares — this page is the SNF PPS table.
