The first payment adjustments under Home Health Value-Based Purchasing are right around the corner in January. CMS will give an update on performance reports during an open door forum at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024.
 
The Annual Performance Report (APR) is expected to be released this month, giving agencies a look at their performance in 2023, and how that will impact rates in 2025. Agencies can expect anywhere from a 5% cut in payments to a 5% bonus, depending on how the agency did in comparison to other providers. Most agencies will see an adjustment of less than 2%.
 
Other topics on the forum call include:
  • The upcoming conversion of the Home Health Grouper Software to Java 17
  • Quality Reporting Program updates and resources
  • A live Q&A on forum-related topics
