Abstract: Section 1814(i)(5) of the Social Security Act added by section 3004 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. 111 148, enacted on March 23, 2010 (Affordable Care Act), authorizes the Secretary to establish a quality reporting program for hospices. Section 1814(i)(5)(A)(i) of the Social Security Act requires that the Secretary, beginning with FY 2014, reduce the market basket update by 2 percentage points for any hospice that does not submit quality data submission for a fiscal year. CMS established the Hospice Quality Reporting Program (HQRP) in the FY 2012 Hospice Wage Index final rule (76 FR 47318 through 47324, and 47325 through 47326) pursuant to Section 3004 of the Affordable Care Act. In this rule, CMS set forth the initial framework for the HQRP and established that the first "mandatory" reporting period would take place from October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. During the first "mandatory" reporting period, hospices were required to gather data pertaining to two quality measures: (1) a structural measure titled "Participation in a Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Program that Includes at Least Three Quality Indicators Related to Patient Care" and; (2) the NQF-endorsed #0209 pain measure. Hospice providers were then required to report their data between 01/01/2012 and 04/01/2012 In the CY 2013 HH PPS final rule (77 FR 67132 through 67136) CMS retained the two measures that had previously been adopted in the FY 2012 rule. For FY 2016 data submission requirements, CMS is proposing that beginning July 1, 2014, hospices collect a newly created set of data elements, the Hospice Item Set, as part of the HQRP instead of the previous two measures.
