Dear LTCH Provider,
As of October 1, 2019, all LTCH user-requested reports in the CASPER Reporting application will no longer be available to LTCHs. Instead, all LTCH reports will be available exclusively in the new Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES). To prepare for this transition, the CASPER Reporting application will not be available after 5pm ET on September 27, 2019. LTCHs are encouraged to request and/or download any historical user-requested reports from the CASPER Reporting application prior to this time. The oldest quarter-end date that will display in the provider quality reporting program reports will be Quarter 3, 2019. The user-requested reports that are affected by this are as follows:
All reports in the LTCH Provider report category:
• LTCH Admissions
• LTCH Assessment Print
• LTCH Assessments With Error Number XXXX
• LTCH Discharges
• LTCH Error Detail by Provider
• LTCH Error Number Summary by Provider by Vendor
• LTCH Errors by Field by Provider
• LTCH Provider Final Validation
• LTCH Provider Threshold
• LTCH Roster
• LTCH Submission Activity
• LTCH Submission Statistics by Provider
• LTCH Submitter Final Validation
Updates regarding the availability of reports in the LTCH Quality Reporting Program report category will be forthcoming.
Thank you for your patience during this transition period. If you have questions regarding this information, please contact the QIES Technical Support Office (QTSO) Help Desk at (800) 339-9313 or iqies@cms.hhs.gov
