Five-Star Preview Reports Available Now!

AHCA Senior Director of Clinical Services

The Five-Star Preview Reports are now available through the CMS QIES System. This report includes a preview of data for each center on the new quality measures that will be added to the Nursing Home Compare website on April 27, 2016. Providers can review this report to see how the center is performing on the new measures and compare to the national average. Instructions on how to access the report can be found on the ahcancalED website here.

The Five-Star Help line (800-839-9290) will be available from April 25, 2016 through April 29, 2016. CMS will continue to make Provider preview reports available on a monthly basis in advance of public posting and will include the dates and hours of helpline availability. BetterCare@cms.hhs.gov is an alternative way to direct inquiries.
