Hospice providers can now access the latest Provider Preview Reports via the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER) application. The refresh in May will include updates to the Hospice Item Set (HIS) and CAHPS Survey Data (the CAHPS 5-Star Rating was updated in February). Once released in CASPER, providers will have 30 days to review their quality measure results. Although the actual “preview period” is 30 days, the reports will continue to be available for another 30 days, for a total of 60 days. The preview period for the latest Provider Preview Report lasts from February 15, 2023, to March 17, 2023. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services encourages providers to download and save their Hospice Provider Preview Reports for future reference, as they will no longer be available in CASPER after this 60-day period.
