Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Risks and Tips
Summary
To help organizations receive maximum payment for the services they provide, Axxess created a one-page reference guide that highlights common VBP risks and tips for success. Arlene Maxim, RN, HCS-C, Senior Vice President of Clinical Services at Axxess, authored the reference guide and explained the strategies she recommends implementing to optimize VBP performance. “The IPR is an important tool for organizations to understand where they stand and track their performance against peers in their cohort,” Maxim said. For example, if a final claim amount is $3,500 and the payment adjustment percentage is 1.018%, the payment adjustment would be $3,500 multiplied by 0.01018, which equals an additional $35.63 included in the payment.” Performance on the following OASIS items accounts for 35% of an organization’s final VBP score: “Failing to improve these items at discharge can take a heavy toll on an organization’s VBP scoring,” Maxim said. • The day of discharge, make sure the patient has transportation for future physician appointments, pharmacy trips, etc., and ensure their post-home-care visits are scheduled.
