Hospice Preview Reports for the May 2025 Refresh – NOW AVAILABLE IN QIES

Providers can now access the latest Provider Preview Reports via the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER) application. These reports contain provider performance scores for quality measures, which will be published on the compare tool on Medicare.gov [ https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/ ] and the Provider Data Catalog (PDC) [ https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/topics/nursing-homes ] during the *May 2025 refresh*.

In the Provider Preview Reports, HIS measure scores are based on HIS data submitted by hospices from *Quarter 3, 2023 through Quarter 2, 2024. *CAHPS measure scores are based on CAHPS data submitted from *Quarter 3, 2022 through Quarter 2, 2024.* CAHPS Star Ratings are calculated based on data from *Quarter 2, 2022 through Quarter 1, 2024. *The claims-based measures reflect claims data collected from *Quarter 1, 2022 through Quarter 4, 2023.*

Once released in CASPER, providers will have 30 days during which to review their quality measure results.  The preview period for the latest Provider Preview Report lasts from *February 13, 2025 to March 14, 2025*. Although the actual “preview period” is 30 days, the reports will continue to be available for another 30 days, or a total of 60 days. 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.
