403. Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Expansion is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
CMS announced in January 2021 it intends to expand the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Model (HHVBP) through rulemaking beginning no sooner than January 2022. The model is currently implemented in nine states and has resulted in an average 4.6 percent improvement in home health agency quality scores and an approximate $141 million in Medicare savings annually. With these results and only nine states participating, CMS is looking to expand this model in the hope of improving patient outcomes across the nation as well as expand potential savings to the Medicare fund. This session will review the evolution of the VBP Model as the five years progressed, significant changes that occurred in the last two years and updated information on the potential of a nationwide rollout.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify the five-year VBP Model structure and significant changes
• Assess changes in the final two years and resulting variance in the outcomes (compared to prior three years)
• Explain statistics surrounding outcomes and reimbursement impact from the model
