Plan Ahead: 5 Key Strategies to Prepare Now for Home Health Value Based Purchasing

Expansion of the Home Health Value Based Purchasing (HHVBP) model has been on the radar for some time now. Building upon experience from the original HHVBP model, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have finally announced HHVBP Model expansion nationwide and designated the calendar year 2022 as a pre-implementation year. The effective use of the pre-implementation year will not only allow home health providers time to learn about the expectations and requirements of the expanded HHVBP, but will also provide vital opportunity to prepare, make necessary changes, and align appropriate resources now to be competitive and successful in the HHVBP model.
