Guidance

Report the QRIS rating for the provider. The State must choose and enter a three digit code of alphanumeric characters to correspond with the provider’s appropriate level of QRIS rating.

If the Lead Agency did not answer “Yes” to question 33, report (999). OCC recommends using “888” if the provider is participating but has not yet received a rating.

Note that a zero may be used for a specific reason; for “unknown/not reported” use a blank or space.

A FOOTNOTE is required to explain the rating scale.
