Don’t miss your Hospice Quality Reporting Program Provider Preview Reports. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has placed the reports containing Hospice Item Set- and claims-based measure data in hospices’ CASPER folders, CMS says in a message to providers. The reports will be available to view for 60 days, until Oct. 14. “The purpose of these reports is to give providers the opportunity to preview their measure results prior to public display on Care Compare,” CMS explains in its HQRP Public Reporting Tip Sheet.
