Panel considers potential changes to home health model
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Dec. 29 released a report on the Expanded Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Model that summarizes input from the first two meetings of a technical advisory panel considering potential refinements to the model’s methodology, measures and approach to health equity. Launched in 2022, the expanded model includes Medicare-certified home health agencies in all 50 states and in U.S. territories. The model’s measure set currently uses data already reported by HHAs through the Home Health Quality Reporting Program or Medicare claims and Home Health Care Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys.
