Expanded HHVBP Model: Preliminary January 2025 Interim Performance Reports (IPRs) are Available on iQIES

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

The Preliminary January 2025 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.

The January 2025 IPRs include a new worksheet ("CY 2025 Baseline") that reports on your HHA's preliminary Improvement Thresholds for the CY 2025 applicable measure set. Note that Improvement Thresholds are based on CY 2023 data for all measures in the CY 2025 measure set other than the DTC-PAC measure. For the DTC-PAC measure, CY 2022 and CY 2023 data are used.  

An HHA receives a January 2025 IPR 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.
