Your Agency’s First HHVBP ANNUAL Performance Report is Ready! Are You UP or DOWN 5%?! 

On August 23rd, CMS released the first Annual Performance reports, (APR) which provided the first glimpse to agencies of their HHVBP payment impact for 2025.

HHVBP's first full "performance year" was CY2023. In the APR reports provided last week in iQIES, CMS provided all agencies their first report where they can now see the CMS projection of the financial impact on all Medicare payments in 2025. CMS provided a webinar guiding agencies on how to read their new report and the recording can be viewed at This Link.

Please reach out if you need help deciphering where your agency is at, or what your next steps should be to maintain, or improve your score!

Please see below if you are unsure on how to locate your HHVBP reports in iQIES.
