The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on July 24 issued the Preliminary July 2025 Interim Performance Reports for the expanded HHVBP Model on iQIES.

This will be the first report of the CY2025 performance year to include data relevant to CY2025 performance. In the July IPR there are three key updates members should be aware of. First, the “CY 2025 Baseline” tab includes the final Improvement Thresholds for the CY2025 performance year; these will not change for the remainder of the year and should be what providers focus on. Second, the “CY 2025 Performance” tab provides an additional worksheet that reports on the most current performance period available by measure category. Note: As some measures are included in both the CY 2024 and CY 2025 measure set, this additional tab will only report on the measures that are new to the CY 2025 measure set (i.e., Home Health Within-Stay Potentially Preventable Hospitalization, Discharge to Community-Post Acute Care Discharge Function Score).

The October 2025 IPRs will be the first IPRs to generate Improvement, Achievement, and Care Points based on the CY2025 measure sets.

LeadingAge will host the next HHVBP Workgroup on Tuesday, August 26, 1 p.m. ET, where we will review in-depth the model’s recalculation request process. You can register for these meetings and watch past meeting presentations here.
