Objectives 
Learner will be able to: 
State three variables contributing to initiation of the 
PEPPER in the long-term care setting 
Discuss the relevance of PEPPER percentile ranking 
Define the calculations leading to Pepper Target Areas 
Communicate a summary of their PEPPER data to key 
staff 
Identify their facility specific risk factors for Medicare 
reviews 
Develop a facility specific action plan in response to 
PEPPER Data

PEPPER 
This report will contain the SNFs detailed 
facility specific Medicare claims data in certain 
targeted areas and compare the SNF to other 
SNFs nationally 
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) should sign 
up to receive email notification that your 
PEPPER is available 
PEPPERResources.org from the PEPPER 
HELP Desk 
(http://pepperresources.org/HelpContactUs.aspx)

Freestanding SNFs will receive via a secure 
portal on the PEPPERresources.org website 
SNFs/Swing beds that are part of a short-term 
acute care hospital (3rd digit in the PTAN/CMS 
certification number/provider number = “U”) will 
receive electronically via QualityNet secure file

Accessing Your SNF PEPPER 
Access to the PEPPER will be restricted 
to the provider’s Chief Executive Officer, 
President or Administrator 
Corporate offices and/or facility 
management companies will need to 
obtain PEPPERs from each individual 
provider in their organization

Accessing Your SNF PEPPER 
What you will need: 
Facility specific 6-digit CMS Certification Number

PEPPER 
Targeted areas were derived from two 
recent Office of Inspector General (OIG) 
Reports: 
“Inappropriate Payments to Skilled Nursing 
Facilities cost Medicare more than a Billion 
Dollars in 2009” (November 2012) 
“Questionable Billing by Skilled Nursing 
Facilities” (December 2010). 
Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Harmony Healthcare International, Inc. 13
Fraud, Waste and Abuse 
The Government Accountability Office 
has designated Medicare as a program at 
high risk for fraud, waste and abuse 
Payments to skilled nursing facilities 
(SNFs) have been identified as 
vulnerable to abuse 
In 2012 the Office of Inspector General 
(OIG) found that approximately 25% of 
SNF claims were billed in error 
Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Harmony Healthcare International, Inc. 14
Compliance 
The Office of Inspector General encourages SNFs 
to develop and implement a compliance program 
to protect their operations from fraud and abuse 
Beginning in 2013, SNFs are required to have a 
compliance program 
As part of a compliance program, a SNF should 
conduct regular audits to ensure services provided 
are necessary and that charges for Medicare 
services are correctly documented and billed 
Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Harmony Healthcare International, Inc. 15
Compliance 
The Program for Evaluating Payment 
Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER) 
can help guide the SNF’s auditing and 
monitoring activities 
There is no “Good” or “Bad” PEPPER

data statistics for services vulnerable to 
improper payments 
Allows providers to see how their facility 
compares to all other SNFs:

Claims Data 
The SNF PEPPER provides SNFs with their 
jurisdiction, state and national percentile values 
for each target area with reportable data for the 
most recent three fiscal years 
FY 2013 (October 1 2012 through September 
30th 2013 ) is displayed on the first table 
When the target (numerator) count is less 
than 11 for a target area for a time period,

Given the MAC may potentially use data for Additional Documentation 
Requests (ADR) reviews, all data is important 
SNFs whose target percents are at or above the 80th percentile 
(i.e., in the top 20 percent) are considered at risk for improper 
Medicare payments with areas at risk for over coding 
SNFs whose target percents are at or below the 20th percentile 
(i.e., in the bottom 20 percent) are considered at risk for 
improper Medicare payments with areas at risk for undercoding

CMS has developed “suggested

suggestions and will not apply to all 
situations”

TMF Suggested Interventions 
Nontherapy RUGs With High ADL 
High Outliers: This could indicate a risk 
of potential undercoding of 
beneficiaries' ADL status. The SNF 
should determine whether the amount 
of assistance beneficiaries need with 
ADL as reported on the MDS is 
supported and consistent with medical 
record documentation. 
Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Harmony Healthcare International, Inc. 45
TMF Suggested Interventions 
Nontherapy RUGs With High ADL 
Low Outliers: This could indicate a risk 
of potential undercoding of 
beneficiaries' ADL status. The SNF 
should determine whether the amount 
of assistance beneficiaries need with 
ADL as reported on the MDS is 
supported and consistent with medical 
record documentation. 
Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Harmony Healthcare International, Inc. 46
TMF Suggested Interventions 
Ultra High 
High Outliers: This could indicate that 
the SNF is improperly billing for therapy 
services. The SNF should determine 
whether therapy provided was 
reasonable and medically necessary, 
and that the amount of therapy reported 
on the MDS is supported by 
documentation in the medical record
