Overview
There are two tables on the Physician Analyze page.
- The FFS SNF Destinations table contains a list of all skilled nursing facilities that admitted Medicare FFS patients treated by the selected physician. There is a dropdown selection that allows you to narrow the table to include only metrics for one of the three breakout claim types, Followed, Last Claimed, and 3 Months Prior.
- The Vendor Medicare Advantage Skilled Nursing Destinations table shows skilled nursing facilities that admitted Medicare Advantage patients treated by the selected physician.
These tables are found under the Destinations tab on the Analyze page.
The primary value of the table is that it shows part of the patient flow through the healthcare continuum; in this case from the physician to the listed Skilled Nursing facilities, which identifies populations of patients and the informal referral relationships between the physician and the post-acute patients.

Below you will find the definitions for the metrics in the two tables under the destinations tab.
