Industry Note:
Hone Your Use Of PEPPER Reports With Training
Published on Fri Jul 22, 2016
Now that you’ve got your free PEPPER benchmarking report in your hands, it’s time to use it to the fullest.
Tune in to a July 28 webinar from PEPPER contractor TMF Health Quality Institute to find out how to best utilize the report that shows you where you stand compared to your peers on average case mix, number of episodes, episodes with 5 or 6 visits, non-LUPA payments, high therapy utilization episodes, and outlier payments. Registration for the call is limited to 1,000 sites.
Registration information and more PEPPER resources are at www.pepperresources.org/Training-Resources/Home-Health-Agencies. TMF will post a recording of the session on the site by Aug. 12, the contractor says.
