Mont. Medicaid Hospice Policy Manual, Policy 603
Submission Requirements Under the Quality Reporting Program
HOSPICE QUALITY
REPORTING
Pursuant to Section 3004,1814(i)(5)(A)(i) of the Affordable Care
Act, effective October 1, 2014, and for each subsequent fiscal year,
the Department shall reduce the market basket update by two
percentage points from any hospice provider who does not comply
with the minimum data submission requirements with respect to the
fiscal year. Medicaid minimum rates will be reduced by the amount
of any penalty due to non-reporting.
Hospice quality reporting cycles are based on a full calendar year
(January 1 thru December 31) of the applicable year.
Each September the Department receives a list of hospices which
are out of compliance with the minimum data submission
requirements. The Department adjusts the rates for these hospices
to reflect the two percent penalty reduction for the current fiscal
year.
