Turn your PEPPER report into a to-do list.
PEPPER tells you where your billing sits above the national threshold. Connect Shield reads it and tells you what to do about each outlier area.
The Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report compares your hospice's billing against national and jurisdictional percentiles across target areas known to attract audit attention — long lengths of stay, live discharges, and continuous or general inpatient care among them. Landing above the 80th percentile on a target area doesn't prove anything is wrong, but it does put you on the map for review.
Every target area explained
We translate each PEPPER outlier into what it means and why it draws attention.
Connected to your SSVI
PEPPER and SSVI watch overlapping patterns. We show you where they line up.
Prioritized by audit risk
Not every flag matters equally. We rank them so you fix the ones that count first.
