Home health agencies (HHAs) receive additional payments (outlier payments) for 60-day home health episodes of care that carry unusually high costs. CMS, in a recently proposed rule, is seeking to cap outlier payments at 10 percent per agency and target total aggregate outlier payment at 2.5 percent of total HH PPS payments. Currently, the target for outlier payment targets is 5 percent of total HH PPS payments. As such, CMS reduces home health rates by 5 percent to fund outlier payments. By lowering the total outlier payment target to 2.5 percent of total HH PPS payments, CMS would increase home health rates by 2.5 percent.
