The data submission period represents the data submission for the previous month or wee. Data submissions are due to CMS by midnight of Wednesday for the previous week or month; therefore, submission dates may be a few days after the last day of the week or month.
There are two tiers of experience (assigned by CMS during evaluation of the facility’s waiver submission) that determine whether the facility submits data monthly or weekly: Tier 1 hospitals have treated “at home” at least 25 patients meeting inpatient admission criteria through their existing program prior to requesting an AHCAH waiver; Tier 2 hospitals have treated “at home” fewer than 25 patients, or none at all, prior to requesting a waiver. Tier 1 hospitals (variable called FAC_TIER=1) submit AHCAH data on a monthly basis; Tier 2 facilities (variable called FAC_TIER=2) submit data on a weekly basis.
