We Understand, and
We Can End the Confusion to Support Compliance.
We know how daunting it can be to receive a report from CMS! The first time I saw a PEPPER report, I had no idea what I was looking at, and why I was looking at it. But, as I began to look at the report, I was blown away by all that can be learned and implemented with the data inside the PEPPER! All of this, for free, straight from CMS!
I worked for CMS to create the entire PEPPER Outreach and Education program, from creating the first PowerPoint slide to presenting education to CMS, providers, and Compliance Officers for all nine types of facilities that receive PEPPERs. I even presented about PEPPER at the Program Integrity Annual Meeting (PIAM) at CMS Headquarters. Talk about pressure!
I want to share my knowledge and experience with you, expanding on every aspect of the education to digger deeper provide confidence in your compliance.
