The blanket data reporting exceptions and extensions implemented in March across Medicare quality reporting and value-based payment programs for hospitals expired July 1.
Specifically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services made it optional to submit data from the fourth quarter of 2019 (October through December) and the first two quarters of 2020 (January through March, and April through June); and will not use claims data from Jan. 1 through June 30, 2020 to calculate performance in its quality reporting and value-based purchasing programs.
CMS expects hospitals to collect and report data for the third and fourth quarters of 2020 in accordance with regular program requirements.
