2.15.2019 Plan All-Cause Readmissions (PCR) The “Total” data elements for Medicare in Table PCR-C must match the “Total Medicare” data elements in Table PCR-D. Are organizations required to report the totals in both tables?

No. Organizations only need to report the “Total” data elements for Medicare in Table PCR-C. Remove the “Total Medicare” row from Table PCR-D that is used for the SES Stratifications.
