New HH PEPPER Reports Are Out
Published on Fri Jul 22, 2022
Home health agencies have a new PEPPER benchmarking report to help them judge their performance in relation to their peers’. Medicare’s PEPPER contractor made the reports available July 11, it says in a message to providers. HHAs can download their reports via the portal at https://pepperfile. cbrpepper.org/#. PEPPER educational materials are available at https://pepper.cbrpepper.org/Training-Resources/Home-Health- Agencies. At press time, a July 19, 2022 webinar on the report wasn’t yet posted on the page.
