The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued the Third Edition Quality Reporting Program (QRP) COVID-19 Public Reporting Tip Sheet for home health providers. The purpose of the tip sheet is to help providers understand CMS’ public reporting approach to the Home Health Quality Reporting Program to account for CMS quality data submissions that were either optional or excepted from public reporting due to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. The impacts on CMS’ Care Compare website refreshes are also outlined. The tip sheet serves as companion documents to the first and second edition QRP COVID-19 tip sheets published in 2020 and 2022.
