Even though you have a few days more than usual, you should get your PS&R data straightaway. If you think your deadline to self-report your aggregative cap is in February, think again. Why? Usually, the cap reporting deadline is Feb. 28. But since this year is a leap year, it would be Feb. 29. However, “due to 2/29/20 falling on a Saturday, the 2019 Self-Determined Caps are due no later than March 2, 2020,” explains HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor CGS in a message to providers. Remember, “providers will be required to obtain their own PS&R data in order to complete the Self-Determined Hospice Cap report,” MAC Palmetto GBA stresses on its website. “If you do not have access to the EIDM system, you should register now.” Do this ASAP: Now that Jan. 1 has passed, you should secure beneficiary counts and payments for the cap ending Sept. 30, 2019, as soon as possible, advises The Health Group in Morgantown, West Virginia. “Securing the data early minimizes any interim liability that may be due on or before February 29, 2020,” the consulting firm explains in its electronic newsletter.
