The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a webinar on Thursday, September 24, 2026,  from 1–2 pm ET on the FY 2025 Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER), released in August 2026, for home health agencies.

LeadingAge in August 2024 responded to a request for information (RFI) to update the PEPPER reports, which are tools to help agencies better understand where they fall in billing anomalies that are at risk of improper payment, after a pause. Two years later, CMS has re-released the home health reports with no changes.

The September 24 session will provide participants with guidance on navigating the recent changes, including a review of the reports.  There will also be discussion on the partial hospitalization programs PEPPER which was released in September 2026. Register for the webinar here.
