— Providers with a Quality Improvement Evaluation System account to submit MDS data or view CASPER reports should now update their account and follow the process to ensure they continue to receive critical CMS alerts.
— Revised forms 4116-MHM-AA and 4116-Dental for HCS/TxHmL dated September 2011 must be used. Older versions will no longer be processed.
