How much will Medicare increase in 2022?
CMS estimates that Medicare payments to HHAs in CY 2022 would increase in the aggregate by $570 million (3.2 percent). The $570 million increase in estimated payments for CY 2022 reflects the effects of the CY 2022 home health payment update percentage of 2.6 percent ($465 million increase), an estimated 0.7 percent increase that reflects the effects of the updated fixed-dollar loss ratio ($125 million increase) and an estimated 0.1 percent decrease in payments due to the changes in the rural add-on percentages for CY 2022 ($20 million decrease). The Home Health PPS uses the latest core-based statistical area (CBSA) delineations and the latest available “pre-reclassified” hospital wage data collected under the Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System. The wage index is applied to the labor share of the payment rate to account for differing wage levels in areas in which home health services are rendered.
What is CMS in home health?
Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) acted to improve home health care for older adults and people with disabilities through a final rule that would accelerate the shift from paying for Medicare home health services based on volume to a system that pays for value. The rule finalizes a nationwide expansion of the successful Home Health Value- Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model and makes updates to the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System (PPS) and the home infusion therapy services payment rates for Calendar Year (CY) 2022, in accordance with existing statutory and regulatory requirements.
What is LUPA in CMS?
Each of the 432 payment groups under the PDGM has an associated case-mix weight and low utilization payment adjustment (LUPA) threshold. CMS’ policy is to annually recalibrate the case-mix weights using the most complete utilization data available at the time of rulemaking. In this final rule, we are finalizing the recalibration of the PDGM case-mix weights, functional levels, and comorbidity adjustment subgroups while maintaining the CY 2021 LUPA thresholds for CY 2022 to more accurately pay for the types of patients HHAs are serving.
What is home health QRP?
The Home Health Quality Reporting Program (Home Health QRP) is a pay-for-reporting program for HHAs that report quality data to CMS. HHAs that do not meet reporting requirements receive a 2 percentage point reduction to their annual market basket percentage update for that calendar year.
What is HHVBP model?
This Model tests whether payment incentives can significantly change health care providers’ behavior to improve quality of care through payment adjustments based on quality performance during a given model performance year. The HHVBP Model’s current participants provide services in nine randomly selected states and comprise all Medicare-certified Home Health Agencies (HHAs) providing services in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington. The evaluation findings showed that participants’ performance from 2016-2018 achieved an average 4.6 percent improvement in quality scores as well as average annual savings of $141 million to Medicare. The CMS Chief Actuary’s certification and determinations made by the Secretary designated the HHVBP Model as eligible for expansion nationwide through rulemaking. On January 8, 2021, CMS announced its intention to expand the Model no earlier than January 1, 2022, through notice and comment rulemaking, and a proposal for nationwide expansion was included in the CY 2022 HH PPS proposed rule.
Is occupational therapy part of the home health plan?
CMS is also updating the home health (CoPs) to implement Division CC, section 115 of CAA 2021, which requires CMS to permit an occupational therapist to conduct the initial home health assessment visit and complete the comprehensive assessment under the Medicare program, but only when occupational therapy is on the home health plan of care with physical therapy and/or speech therapy, and skilled nursing services are not initially on the plan of care.
Does Medicare require telecommunications for home health aides?
CMS is finalizing policies that makes permanent current blanket waivers related to home health aide supervision and the use of telecommunications in conducting assessment visits. CMS issued these waivers for Medicare participating home health agencies during the COVID-19 PHE. While we are finalizing the limited use of telecommunications technology when performing the 14-day supervisory visit requirement when a patient is receiving skilled services, we expect that in most instances, the HHAs would plan to conduct the 14-day supervisory assessment during an on-site, in person visit, and that the HHA would use interactive telecommunications systems option only for unplanned occurrences that would otherwise interrupt scheduled in-person visits.
What is the CMS's goal for 2021?
Consistent with Executive Order 13985 of January 20, 2021, entitled “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government,” CMS is committed to pursuing a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all. CMS seeks to address the significant and persistent inequities in health outcomes in the United States through improving data collection to better measure and analyze disparities across its programs and policies. CMS is working to make healthcare quality more transparent to consumers and providers, enabling them to make better choices as well as promoting provider accountability around health equity. We are seeking feedback in this RFI on ways to attain health equity for all patients through policy solutions. Our ongoing commitment to closing the health equity gap in HHAs has been demonstrated by the adoption of standardized patient assessment data elements which include several Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) that were finalized in the CY 2020 HH PPS final rule for the HH QRP. With this RFI, we are also seeking comment on the possibility of expanding measure development, and the collection of other standardized patient assessment data elements that address gaps in health equity in the HH QRP.
How much will Medicare increase in 2022?
CMS estimates that Medicare payments to HHAs in CY 2022 would increase in the aggregate by 1.7 percent, or $310 million, based on the proposed policies. This increase reflects the effects of the proposed 1.8 percent home health payment update percentage ($330 million increase) and a 0.1 percent decrease in payments due to reductions made in the rural add-on percentages mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 for CY 2022 ($20 million decrease).
What is CMS working on?
CMS is working to further the mission to improve the quality of healthcare for beneficiaries through measurement, transparency, and public reporting of data. We believe that advancing our work with use of the FHIR standard offers the potential for supporting quality improvement and reporting which will improve care for our beneficiaries. We are seeking feedback on our future plans to define digital quality measures (dQMs) for the HH QRP. We also are seeking feedback on the potential use of FHIR for (dQMs) within the HH QRP aligning where possible with other quality programs.
How to improve HH QRP?
CMS is proposing to improve the HH QRP by removing an OASIS-based measure which is no longer demonstrating meaningful differences in performance and by removing or replacing two claim-based measures with a claims-based measure that addresses concerns raised surrounding attribution with a measure more strongly associated with desired patient outcomes. CMS is also proposing that in supporting the coordination of care,HHAs begin collecting data on the Transfer of Health Information to Provider-Post Acute Care measure, the Transfer of Health Information to Patient-PAC measure, as well as six categories of standardized patient assessment data elements effective January 1, 2023 to position us with data to monitor outcomes across diverse populations. This proposal could also better position CMS to support the recent Executive Order 13985.
What is HH QRP?
The HH QRP is a pay-for-reporting program. HHAs that do not meet reporting requirements must be subject to a two-percentage point (2%) reduction in their annual update.
What is CMS's home health policy?
Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) took action to improve home health care for older adults and people with disabilities through a proposed rule that would accelerate the shift from paying for Medicare home health services based on volume to a system that pays for value and quality by proposing a nationwide expansion of the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model. This rule also includes proposals and routine updates to the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) and the home infusion therapy services payment rates for Calendar Year (CY) 2022, in accordance with existing statutory and regulatory requirements. This rule proposes to make permanent changes to the home health Conditions of Participation (CoP) that were implemented during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE).
What is PDGM in Medicare?
Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) and Behavioral Assumptions. Beginning on January 1, 2020, Medicare implemented the PDGM and a 30-day unit of payment, as required by law, for the HH PPS to better align with patient care needs and safeguard that clinically complex beneficiaries have adequate access to home health care.
