Home Health & Hospice Week
Are You On Medicare's 'Successful Hospices' List?
Your potential referral sources and patients — not to mention competitors — can easily look up whether you are complying with Hospice Quality Reporting Program data reporting requirements. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has posted “the list of successful hospices for FY 2021 Hospice QRP,” it says on the HQRP webpage. “These hospices met the CY 2019 hospice quality data reporting requirements that impact FY 2021 payment. Successful hospices receive their full annual payment update (APU).” A link to the 97-page PDF list is in the “Downloads” section at https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/Hospice-Quality-Reporting/HQRP-Requirements-and-Best-Practices.
