Don't Let Competitors Beat You To The Punch With PEPPER
It’s time to check your stats against your peers with the latest Hospice Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER) report. The Q4FY22 release of the report, which contains statistics through September 2022, is now available for download, PEPPER contractor RELI Group says in a message to providers. RELI will hold a live webinar about this year’s report on May 9. This iteration of the report adds two new target areas: Average Number of Medicare Part B Claims for Beneficiaries Residing at Home; and Average Number of Medicare Part B Claims for Beneficiaries Residing in an Assisted Living Facility, Nursing Facility, or Skilled Nursing Facility. More info and a link to the webinar are at https://pepper. cbrpepper.org/Training-Resources/Hospices. The webinar is limited to 1,000 sites.
