Change Request (CR) 5567: Additional Data for Services on Hospice Claims
Note: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued CR 6440, which requires that (effective January 1, 2010) hospices begin to report additional detail for visits on their claims. Some of the information issued in CR 5567 is superseded by CR 6440. Refer to the Change Request (CR) 6440: Additional Data Collection on Hospice Claims Web page for additional information.
CR 5567 is effective for claims with dates of service July 1, 2008, and after. This CR requires hospices to report skilled nurse, aide and social worker visits provided in the week, based on the level of care and service location. For more details, click on the ‘CR 5567’ link below.
