Post-Acute Care (PAC) Quality Reporting Programs Demographic Data Transition (SNF)

Historically, provider demographic data is maintained in the Automated Survey Processing Environment or ASPEN software; however, CMS will be transitioning to use the demographic information from Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS). The transition is underway; however, a final date has not been identified yet. During this transition, all PAC providers must ensure their latest demographic data is updated and available in both ASPEN (SNF/NFs, IRFs, and LTCHs) or iQIES (HHAs and Hospices) and PECOS systems. The Downloads section of the CMS Help Desks site has a document outlining the steps each PAC provider should follow. Questions? Contact the iQIES at [email protected] or (800) 339-9313.
