CMS Quarterly Credit Balance Reports No Longer Required: Starting December 1, 2024, providers aren’t required to submit Credit Balance Reports (PDF) (CMS-838) on a quarterly basis. You’re still required to report self-identified overpayments, but you should only use a Credit Balance Report when they occur. https://ow.ly/waOh50UumfP

Thank you Joel VanEaton, BSN, RN, RAC-CT, RAC-CTA, MT, MTA for sharing this!
Executive Vice President of PAC Regulatory Affairs and Education at Broad River Rehab
Well, well, well! CMS is just full of Christmas surprises. On Tuesday this week they quietly posted the revised 5-Star user's guide (dated January 2025) detailing the changes coming our way with the January Care Compare Refresh. Lots of expected changes including a revision to the overall QM star rating cut point thresholds due to the cut point changes to the four unfrozen measures. While it may have gotten easier, point value wise, to jump QM star levels the individual cut point tables for the unfrozen measures tell a different story. See link to manual in comments below.

We are so excited to see Linda Riccio receive this honor! Linda has been significant part of NARA's Conference Committee leadership for many years. Due to leadership, she ensured our programming was top notch and timely for attendees. Linda is currently our Southeast Regional Coordinator and remains a resource for current and new members connecting and collaborating with them. Congratulations, Linda, this is a well deserved honor!!
Along the way many healthcare practitioners have influenced me, guided me and shaped me, I thank you for your part in this. There is so much value in learning, mentoring, and advocating - it is the core of who we are and what we become as occupational therapy practitioners. Transitional Care Management

Modern Healthcare is reporting that Congress is close to a government funding deal that would extend Medicare telehealth flexibilities, add funding to offset the conversion factor decrease for CY2025 up to 2.5%, and hospital at home flexibilities extended. Stay tuned for updates on the final CR. https://lnkd.in/gGxdZeXA
