Part of the [CMS Data Research Dataset](/data-catalog/cms-data-research-dataset/cms-data-research-catalog.md) โ€บ Plan Benefits Dataplex delivers this CMS research table as the analysis-ready table `DWV.BENEFITS_DATA__B19B_B2_SNF` on Snowflake and Databricks: coverage from 2024 to 2027 in a single aligned schema, refreshed automatically whenever CMS publishes a new file. Every row carries lineage back to the exact CMS source file that produced it. ## Key facts | | | | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | | **Snowflake** | `DWV.BENEFITS_DATA__B19B_B2_SNF` | | **Databricks** | `cms_research_dwv.benefits_data__b19b_b2_snf` | | **Coverage** | Jan 2024 โ€“ Jan 2027 | | **Rows** | 523 (total across all reporting periods) | | **Update pattern** | Time-partitioned; each file adds one reporting period | | **Latest report period** | 2027-01-01 | | **Loaded** | 2026-10-04 | | **Columns** | 239 data + 5 lineage | | **Identifiers** | Contract ID (H-number) ยท Plan ID | | **File versions** | 6 | | **License** | CMS public data (U.S. Government work) | | **Platforms** | Snowflake Marketplace ยท Databricks Delta Sharing | Included in the CMS Data Research Dataset, [start a free trial on Snowflake Marketplace](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZT1Z125KDP/dataplex-consulting-data-products-cms-data-research-dataset). {% hint style="success" %} **Current**: data runs through the Jan 2027 report period. Next CMS release expected \~Jul 2027. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} **Partitioned by report period**: each file version covers one report period and history is additive. The sample query below returns the latest report period; drop the `WHERE` clause to query the full history. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} **Join to the package header.** Rows are keyed on `BID_ID` + `PBP_VBID_GROUP_ID`, at most one per package, within one release. Match records from the same release on `FEEDS_FILES.FILE_REPORT_PERIOD` (each source file has its own `FILE_ID`, so never join two views on `FILE_ID`). Filtering on `CONTRACT_YEAR` alone also works for a year with a single release; contract years with quarterly revisions carry several. ```sql SELECT h.PBP_VBID_GROUP_ID AS header_group, c.* FROM DWV.BENEFITS_DATA__B19B_B2_SNF c JOIN DWV.FEEDS_FILES fc ON fc.ID = c.FILE_ID JOIN DWV.BENEFITS_DATA__B19B_PACKAGES h ON h.BID_ID = c.BID_ID AND h.PBP_VBID_GROUP_ID = c.PBP_VBID_GROUP_ID JOIN DWV.FEEDS_FILES fh ON fh.ID = h.FILE_ID AND fh.FILE_REPORT_PERIOD = fc.FILE_REPORT_PERIOD; ``` {% endhint %} ## Sample queries {% tabs %} {% tab title="Snowflake" %} ```sql -- Latest report period only (drop the WHERE clause for the full history) SELECT * FROM DWV.BENEFITS_DATA__B19B_B2_SNF WHERE FILE_ID IN ( SELECT ID FROM DWV.FEEDS_FILES WHERE IS_LATEST = 1 ) LIMIT 100; ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Databricks" %} ```sql -- Latest report period only (drop the WHERE clause for the full history) SELECT * FROM cms_research_dwv.benefits_data__b19b_b2_snf WHERE file_id IN ( SELECT id FROM cms_research_dwv.feeds_files WHERE is_latest = 1 ) LIMIT 100; ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## About this feed > Skilled Nursing Facility VBID and UF data for B19B packages.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.dataplex-consulting.com/data-catalog/cms-data-research-dataset/cms-data-research-catalog/benefits-data-b19b-skilled-nursing-facility-vbiduf.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
