The February 2022 quarterly Hospice Quality Reporting Program has gone live on Care Compare. Data submission requirements were temporarily put on hold after the November 2020 refresh. The Hospice CAHPS Survey measure scores continue to exclude Q1 and Q2 of calendar year 2020. As a reminder, in CY 2022 all hospices must meet the threshold requirements for HIS submission of 90% and participate in Hospice CAHPS to avoid a 4% reduction in their FY 2024 Annual Payment Update. This will be the first year of increased penalties from 2% to 4%.
