Expanded HHVBP Model: Final January 2025 Interim Performance Reports (IPRs) Are Available on iQIES 

Final January 2025 Interim Performance Reports (IPRs) are Available on iQIES

The Final January 2025 Interim Performance Reports (IPRs) for the expanded HHVBP Model have been published on the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES). The quarterly IPRs provide home health agencies (HHAs) with the cohort assignment, performance year measure data for the 12 most recent months, and the interim Total Performance Score (TPS). Using the IPRs, an HHA can assess and track their performance relative to peers in their respective cohort throughout the expanded Model performance year. 

An HHA will receive a January 2025 if the HHA:

• Was Medicare certified before January 1, 2023, and

• Meets the minimum threshold of data for at least one (1) quality measure in the quarterly reporting period for the performance year shown in Exhibit 1. 

Note: IPRs are only available to HHAs through iQIES. IPRs are not available to the public.

Accessing IPRs

IPRs are available via iQIES in the “HHA Provider Preview Reports” folder by the CMS Certification Number (CCN) assigned to the HHA. If your organization has more than one (1) CCN, then a report will be available for each CCN. Only iQIES users authorized to view an HHA’s reports can access expanded HHVBP Model reports. For assistance with downloading your HHA’s IPR, please contact the iQIES Service Center at 1-800-339-9313, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM-8:00 PM ET, or by email (iqies@cms.hhs.gov). To create a ticket online or track an existing ticket, please go to CCSQ Support Central.
