SimiTree expertise helps boost key performance metrics for VBP.

Will the nationwide rollout of Value Based Purchasing for home health affect your organization’s reimbursement with an increase or a decrease – and how much will the payment adjustment be? The answer hinges on your agency’s total performance scores. CMS propose using 2023 performance scores compared to 2022 baseline scores to determine the first payment adjustments.

The experts at SimiTree can help your organization take control of the performance metrics which will determine your payment adjustment. SimiTree will develop a personalized action plan to address key performance areas which count toward an agency’s total performance score; provide the staff training needed in those areas; and show you how to use your organization’s QAPI program for the most effective, ongoing improvement.

“Under VBP, agencies will see financial impacts based on their achievement or improvement scores. CMS is launching the VBP program with an adjustment cap of +/-5 percent.”
