For learning purposes only, CMS is providing two sample reports — one for the Interim Performance Report (IPR) and one for the Annual Performance Report (APR). 
 
These sample reports do not include actual home health agency performance data. The content of the sample reports is based on the same scoring methodologies and other policies as presented in the Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) final rule. Information in the sample reports includes:
  • An overview of the IPR and APR;
  • Achievement, Improvement, Care Points, Measure Scorecard, and TNC Change Reference tabs;
  • Annual Payment Adjustment tab in the APR;
  • Formulas and Notes to explain the calculations of the Total Performance Score (TPS) in both reports, and the Final TPS-adjusted payment percentage in the APR; and
  • Sample percentile rankings reflecting the agency’s performance relative to the performance of other CCNs in their cohort.
On Aug. 25,  the CMS will host a live event, Navigating IPRs and the Annual Total Performance Score and Payment Adjustment Report. This event will assist HHAs with understanding the format and content of the reports specific to the expanded HHVBP Model. Registration available at the following link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SpSWv54gTCedb3azUWI4eA.
 
Instructions on how to access the sample reports is available on the Expanded HHVBP Model webpage, in the “Expanded HHVBP Model Reports – Access Instructions” document.
