CMS Pub. 100-11, ch. 10, § 30.10
Dissemination of HOS-M Results to Plans
After each yearly administration of the Medicare HOS-M, a PACE organization-specific
report is produced and is available for each PACE organization participating in the
survey. The HOS-M report presents physical and mental component summary scores,
ADL items, and selected health status measures for the frail, elderly Medicare
beneficiaries for each organization compared to the entire HOS-M sample.
The corresponding beneficiary level data for a report are disseminated to participating
PACE organizations. In addition to the data files, each PACE organization is provided
with a Data User's Guide that describes the Medicare HOS-M file specifications and the
appropriate use of Medicare HOS-M data.
All distribution of HOS-M reports occurs electronically to participating PACE
organizations through CMS' Health Plan Management System (HPMS) in the fall of each
year. Plans are alerted to report and data availability through HPMS and may request data
from HOS Technical Support (hos@aqzio.sdps.org or toll free 888-880-0077).
