ASC-20 Deadline Two Weeks Away

11/1/22

The second data submission deadline for ASC-20: COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Among Health Care Personnel is Tuesday, November 15, and covers the data collected in the second quarter of 2022, April 1 through June 30. For ASC-20, facilities must select one week per month on which to report to meet the quarterly submission requirement. The Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting (ASCQR) Program provides a Web-Based Measure Status Listing that allows facilities to check their data submission status for web-based measures in the program. Enter your ASC’s NPI or CCN in the ASC Facility and CCN Lookup section to see your facility’s submission status. Please note that currently this page is only being updated monthly, so if you just submitted your data, it might not yet be displayed there. The deadline to request an exception for failing to report first quarter 2022 data is rapidly approaching as well. If your facility was unable to submit required information by the first reporting deadline (August 15) due to an extraordinary circumstance, your ASC may request an exception. To request an exception, you must submit a completed Extraordinary Circumstances Exceptions form with any required information and supporting documentation within 90 calendar days of the missed deadline. These documents must be submitted to the ASC Support Contractor via one of the following: • the Hospital Quality Reporting Secure Portal, Managed File Transfer (MFT) to QRFormsSubmission@hsag.com (opens in new browser tab). Note: When sending via MFT, uncheck “Require Registered Users.” • email directly to: QRFormsSubmission@hsag.com • secure fax to: 877.789.4443
