CMS releases details to download upcoming CAH payment patterns report
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has released details on downloading its upcoming fiscal year 2025 Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report, or PEPPER, for critical access hospitals. The report, set to release this month, summarizes provider-specific Medicare data statistics for areas often associated with improper Medicare payments due to billing, diagnosis related group coding and/or admission necessity issues. CMS said the report would be available through its PEPPER Portal to authorized officials, access managers and users with the staff end user business function in the CMS Identity and Access Management System. A guide and FAQ on accessing the PEPPER are also available for users.
