Preview Reports and Star Rating Preview Reports for the July 2025 Refresh of HH QRP Data - NOW AVAILABLE IN iQIES
The HHA Provider Preview Reports have been updated and are now available. These reports contain provider performance scores for quality measures, which will be published on the compare tool on Medicare.gov and the Provider Data Catalog (PDC) during the July 2025 refresh.
Data contained within the Provider Preview Reports are based on quality assessment data submitted by HHAs from Quarter 4, 2023 through Quarter 3, 2024. The data for the claims-based measures will display data from Quarter 1, 2022 through Quarter 4, 2023 for the Discharge to Community and Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary measures, Quarter 1, 2021 through Quarter 4, 2023 for the Potentially Preventable 30-Day Post-Discharge Readmission measure, and Quarter 1, 2023 through Quarter 4, 2023 for the Home Health Within-Stay Potentially Preventable Hospitalization measure. Additionally, the data for the HHCAHPS measures will display data from Quarter 1, 2024 through Quarter 4, 2024.
Providers have until May 2, 2025, to review their performance data. Only updates/corrections to the underlying assessment data before the final data submission deadline will be reflected in the publicly reported data on Medicare.gov. If a provider updates assessment data after the final data submission deadline, the updated data will only be reflected in the Facility-Level Quality Measure (QM) report and Patient-Level QM report. Updates submitted after the final data submission deadline will not be reflected in the Provider Preview Reports or on Medicare.gov. However, providers can request a CMS review of their data during the preview period if they believe the displayed quality measure scores within their Provider Preview Reports are inaccurate.
