SNF PEPPER Envelope |
Free-standing SNFs and SNFs administered through long-term acute care hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation facilities will receive their PEPPER in hard copy format via USPS first-class mail, shipped on August 30, 2013. The envelope containing the PEPPER will appear as at left and is addressed generically to the Chief Executive Officer/Administrator. SNFs should be on the look-out for this envelope and ensure it is appropriately routed internally.
What is PEPPER?
PEPPER is a report that summarizes a SNF's Medicare claims data in areas that may be at risk for improper Medicare payments. It compares the SNF's statistics with aggregate national statistics to identify whether it may be at risk for improper Medicare payments. PEPPER is distributed by TMF® Health Quality Institute under contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
For more information on the SNF PEPPER, including training and resources for SNFs, the SNF PEPPER User's Guide, and to accessinformation about My QualityNet accounts and frequently asked questions, please visit PEPPERresources.org.
