Summary
This notice is to advise interested parties of the termination of the DHA's Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Demonstration. On November 9, 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule announcing the termination of the original Medicare HHVBP Model one year early for home health agencies (HHAs) in the nine original model states. This serves as formal notice that DHA also terminated the HHVBP demonstration applicable in the original nine model states. Due to the limited time this demonstration was active, there was insufficient data to draft a report detailing findings.
