Updated HQRP Tip Sheets May Help Keep You Compliant — And Paid

Make sure you’re keeping up with the latest Hospice Quality Reporting Program requirements by checking out two updated resources from Medicare.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has released a Second Edition HQRP Public Reporting Tip Sheet and a Second Edition HQRP Compliance Tip Sheet. The former aims “to help providers understand public reporting for the HQRP in the midst of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE),” particularly which data is exempted from public reporting, CMS says. The latter aims “to provide hospice agencies with an overview of the basic requirements providers must meet to be successful with the HQRP and to achieve a full Annual Payment Update (APU).”
