Final January 2025 Interim Performance Reports (IPRs) are Available on iQIES
The Final January 2025 Interim Performance Reports (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 IPR, 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 prior to 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.
Accessing IPRs
IPRs are available via iQIES in the “HHA Provider Preview Reports” folder, by the CMS Certification number (CCN) assigned to the HHA. If your organization has more than one (1) CCN, then a report will be available for each CCN. Only iQIES users authorized to view an HHA’s reports can access expanded HHVBP Model reports. For assistance with downloading your HHA’s IPR, please contact the iQIES Service Center at 1-800-339-9313, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM-8:00 PM ET, or by email (iqies@cms.hhs.gov). To create a ticket online or track an existing ticket, please go to CCSQ Support Central.
