PY 2025 Final PSR

PY 2025 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 November 27, 2024, which is 15 business days after they are available. PSCs must remain posted throughout calendar year 2025, until next year’s PSCs are available.

Save Your Facility’s PY 2025 Reports

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 2025 ESRD QIP UI Quick Start Guide.
