  • POCs should submit inquiries about their facility’s PY 2025 preview scores before the preview period concludes. 
  • For additional information regarding the information displayed in you PSR, you may download the PY 2025 Guide to the ESRD QIP Performance Score Report (PSR) here: ESRD QIP PY25 PSR Guide
