A recorded presentation dated August 2025 released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provides the latest information about the Annual Payment Update (APU) for the Hospice Quality Reporting Program (HQRP).
The presentation includes information on what the APU is; the data submission requirements for Hospice Outcomes and Patient Evaluation (HOPE) and Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®); how CMS determines HQRP compliance, and the steps hospices can take if they receive a non-compliance decision.
As a reminder, if hospices do not submit 90% of their HOPE records within 30 days of completing the records they risk a 4% reduction APU for CY2027.
