The Preliminary April 2024 Interim Performance Reports (IPRs) for the expanded Home Health Value Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model were published on iQIES April 30. The quarterly IPRs provide HHAs with the cohort assignment, performance year measure data for the 12 most recent months, and interim Total Performance Score (TPS). Using the IPR, an HHA can assess and track their performance relative to peers in their respective cohort throughout the expanded model performance year.
There are two versions of the quarterly IPRs: a Preliminary IPR and a Final IPR. The Preliminary IPR provides an HHA with an opportunity to submit a recalculation request for applicable measures and interim performance scores if the agency believes there is evidence of a discrepancy in the calculation, not associated with errors in data submission requirements under federal rules. To dispute the calculation of the performance scores in the Preliminary IPR, an HHA must submit a recalculation request within 15 calendar days after publication of the Preliminary IPR.
For the April 2024 IPR, HHAs must submit a recalculation request by May 15, 2024. The Final IPR will reflect any changes resulting from any approved recalculation request. Find complete instructions on submitting a recalculation request here.
