Five Star Preview Reports Available

To access the Five Star Preview Reports, select the CASPER Reporting link located at the top of your MDS State Welcome page.  Once in the CASPER Reporting system, click on the "Folders" button and access the Five Star Report in your "st LTC facid" folder, where "st" is the two-character postal code of the state in which your facility is located and "facid" is the state-assigned Facility ID of your facility.

Important Note: The Five Star Helpline (800-839-9290) will be available from Nov. 17 through Nov. 22, 2013.  Provider preview reports will continue to be 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 communication medium to direct inquiries.
