CMS Releases Hospice Preview Reports for the February 2025 Refresh

Medicare hospice providers can now access the latest Provider Preview Reports via the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER) application. Once released in CASPER, providers will have 30 days during which to review their quality measure results, the reports will continue to be available for 60 days. The preview period for the latest Provider Preview Report lasts from November 13, 2024 to December 13, 2024 and includes updates to the Hospice Item Set measures, Hospice CAHPS Survey measures and the Hospice CAHPS Star Rating. CMS 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. Providers can review the hospice quality reporting program tip sheet here for more information on public reporting.
