Hospice Prescription Drug Reporting on Claims |
In late July, CMS issued Change Request 8358 (https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/Hospice/Downloads/R2747CP.pdf), imposing additional data reporting requirements for hospice claims. These reporting requirements are mandatory beginning April 1, 2014, and include reporting of prescription drugs (injectable and non-injectable) on a line-item basis per fill. The Hospice Association of America (an affiliate of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice) is seeking your input on challenges associated with meeting this new requirement. Additional information about CR 8358 is available in the July 31, 2013, issue of NAHC Report. If you have questions about this survey or comments that exceed the scope of this survey, please feel free to contact Katie Wehri (Katie@nahc.org) or Theresa Forster (tmf@nahc.org).
