Inpatient rehabilitation facilities and long-term care hospitals can review their quality data through March 30 before it is reported on the IRF Compare and LTCH Compare websites in June, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced yesterday. “Corrections to the underlying data will not be permitted during this time,” CMS said. “However, providers can request a CMS review during the preview period if they believe their data is inaccurate.” For details on accessing the preview reports, see the LTCH and IRF instructions.
