User Enhancement Change Request (UECR): Fiscal Intermediary Shared System (FISS) and Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System (HIGLAS) - Identification of Hospice Cap Settlement Activities

The purpose of this UECR is to automate the process that sends hospice cap information from HIGLAS to the Provider Statistics & Reimbursement Report (PS&R). The current process to update PS&R requires the Medicare Administrative Contractors to manually enter the hospice cap amounts, generated by HIGLAS, into the PS&R. Automating the process will reduce program costs by eliminating manual work and improve the accuracy of the information in PS&R
