PDF
Not sure what’s changed about the Hospice Quality Reporting Program’s Quality Measure reports? Check out a new resource from Medicare for help. “To assist hospice providers in understanding and using the CASPER QM Reports that now include claims-based measures, CMS has updated this fact sheet to reflect the changes to the HQRP based on the (FY) 2022 Hospice Final Rule,” the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services says in a new message to providers. The renamed and revised document, Getting Started with HQRP CASPER QM Reports, is in the “Provider Toolkit” section at www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/Hospice-Quality-Reporting/HQRP-Requirements-and-Best-Practices.
