Access Newest Preview Reports
Published on Thu Aug 18, 2022
It’s time to get back into your CASPER folder — your latest hospice Provider Preview Reports should be in there. The preview period for the report lasts from Aug. 17 to Sept. 16, although they will be available for unofficial viewing another 30 days after that. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services “encourages providers to download and save their Hospice Provider Preview Reports for future reference, as they will no longer be available in CASPER after this 60-day period,” the agency says in a message to providers.
