  • 1.  Refresh of HH QRP Data

    Posted 11-20-2025 04:45 PM

    CMS shared the following regarding the Care Compare refresh.


    Public Reporting October 2025 Refresh of HH QRP Data – Now Available

    Because of the lapse in federal appropriations, scheduled data refreshes and other routine updates were temporarily paused. With the resumption of government operations on November 13, these updates are being released.  

    Effective November 20, 2025, the October 2025 refresh of the HH QRP is now available on the compare tool on Medicare.gov and Provider Data Catalog (PDC).

    The data are based on quality assessment data submitted by HHAs to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) from Quarter 1, 2024 through Quarter 4, 2024. The data for the claims-based measures will display data from Quarter 1, 2023 through Quarter 4, 2024 for the Discharge to Community and Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary measures, Quarter 1, 2022 through Quarter 4, 2024 for the Potentially Preventable 30-Day Post-Discharge Readmission measure, and Quarter 1, 2024 through Quarter 4, 2024 for the Home Health Within-Stay Potentially Preventable Hospitalization measure. Additionally, the data for the HHCAHPS measures will display data from Quarter 2, 2024 through Quarter 1, 2025.

    Due to technical issues that affected two quality measures, CMS has decided to suppress the measure results for the Transfer of Health Information to the Provider and Discharge Function Score measures for the October 2025 release. Reporting on the two measures will resume with the next refresh in January 2026.

    Please visit the compare tool on Medicare.gov and PDC to view the updated quality data. For questions about HH QRP Public Reporting, please email homehealthqualityquestions@cms.hhs.gov.

    This data in the provider catalog does not include performance scores with the Discharge Function Score measure, indicating that "Data is suppressed by CMS for one or more quarters".  Any insight into why that is occurring? 

    Data suppressed by CMS for one or more quarters.
