QM Reports now include two measures based on Fiscal Year 2018 and 2019 Medicare claims data: the Hospice Care Index (HCI) and Hospice Visits in the Last Days of Life (HVLDL). Hospices can use the QM Report to learn about HCI and HVLDL and begin efforts to improve quality of care. Find the QM Reports in your CASPER folders in QIES, and find information about HCI and HVLDL measure specifications in the FY 2022 Hospice Wage Index and Payment Rate Update Final Rule on the Hospice Regulations and Notices page.
