Look for 5-Star Preview Report Via CASPER
Published on Mon Sep 06, 2021
Question: How do I access my facility’s 5-star preview report? North Dakota Subscriber Answer: “To access these reports, select the CASPER Reporting link located on the CMS QIES Systems for Providers page. Once in the CASPER Reporting system, select the ‘Folders’ button, then select ‘My Inbox’ or the Inbox beginning with ‘LTC’ and the state abbreviation followed by a facility ID. The reports only remain in the QIES system for a short amount of time (60 days), so please save and/or print these reports for your records.” Nursing Home Care Compare will update with the August Five Star data on August 25, 2021.
