- Correction of E-mail Address on Hospice Notification – The initial notification letters were sent on June 8 to hospice agencies that were subject to the two percentage point payment update reduction for Fiscal Year 2016 (due to not submitting quality data). The letters contained an incorrect e-mail address for CMS. The correct address is HospiceQRPReconsiderations@cms.hhs.gov.
