CMS will release the second Interim Preview Reports for the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) model this month. And these data points are going to provide more detail than agencies received in July.
 
The first interim reports this summer included three months of OASIS data from 2023, the first performance year under HHVBP, but no claims-based or HHCAHPS survey results for 2023.
 
In this second report in October, agencies will get six months of OASIS data from 2023 and data for the other measures from the first three months of the year. Each quarterly report will continue to add three months of data.
 
In the latest HHVBP FAQs, CMS breaks down why some agencies may have seen 0.000 on some scores in the initial IPR.
