Access Your Compare Preview Report Before Next Refresh
Published on Fri Sep 15, 2017
Hospices have until Sept. 28 to get a sneak peek at their next Hospice Compare stats. Compare data will refresh in November, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services notes in a message to providers. Preview your quality measure results, based on first to fourth quarter 2016 data, in a CASPER folder in the QIES system. “The Hospice Provider Preview Reports will not be in your provider’s Validation Report (VR) folder,” CMS notes.
