Agencies should be aware that a set of Public Reporting Provider Preview Reports for Home Health Compare publication on Oct. 8, which was distributed to providers’ CASPER shared folders, contains incorrect data.
More specifically, state values data in the preview reports is incorrect. Reports are being pulled from the CASPER folders and replaced with reports displaying correct data, CMS says in an email notice. Replacement reports are scheduled to be distributed to CASPER folders by Aug. 14.
Providers who have already downloaded and/or circulated these reports should discard them and use the replacement reports, CMS says.
Further questions should be sent to HomeHealthQualityQuestions@cms.hhs.gov.
