The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is offering Second Edition COVID-19 Public Reporting Tip Sheets to help providers understand CMS’ public reporting approach to the Home Health (HH), Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF), Long-Term Care Hospital (LTCH), and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Quality Reporting Programs (QRPs) to account for CMS quality data submissions that were either optional or excepted from public reporting due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). The impact on CMS’ Care Compare website refreshes are also outlined. These tip sheets serve as companion documents to the First Edition COVID-19 Public Reporting Tip Sheets published in 2020.
