Home Health Value Based Purchasing Moves a Step Closer to Reality

Home Health Value Based Purchasing Moves a step closer to reality as Medicare contractors are directed to make changes needed to support the implementation of the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing project. Home health agencies that provide services in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington, will see their payments adjusted upward or downward by 3% starting in January 2018. This amount will increase each year up to 8% for calendar year 2022.
