UPDATED PEPPER Retrieval Maps Allow Comparison By State The PEPPER team has updated the maps that display the PEPPER retrieval rate for PEPPERs accessed via the PEPPER Resources Portal for each state/territory. States on the interactive map are color-coded according to their retrieval rate. Click on a state to obtain details such as the number of PEPPERs available in the state via the portal, the number of PEPPERs accessed via the portal, the retrieval rate and a link to the data file for all states/territories in the nation. The maps will be updated monthly.Map of SNF PEPPER retrievals by stateMap of Hospice PEPPER retrievals by stateMap of LT PEPPER retrievals by state Map of HHA PEPPER retrievals by state
