CMS has released the latest agency-level data on the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) measures, including some new resources.
 
The quarterly Interim Performance Report (IPR) includes OASIS-based data from Oct. 1, 2023, through Sept. 30, 2024, and claims and HHCAHPS survey data from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
 
Agency results for 2024 will impact payment adjustments next year, with a potential increase of 5% up or down depending on how the agency compares nationally. Last month, CMS released the HHVBP data for 2023, including the payment adjustments for agencies nationwide.
 
The latest IPR includes a new 2025 Baseline worksheet that reports improvement thresholds for the updated measure set that will be used beginning with 2025 results. Changes include a shift to the Discharge Function Score and the claims-based Potentially Preventable Hospitalization and Discharge to Community measures.
 
Reports are available in iQIES.
