Question:
What is the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP)?
Answer:
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS):
“The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) reduces payments to hospitals with excess readmissions. The program includes six claims-based outcomes measures. The 21st Century Cures Act requires CMS to assess payment reductions based on a hospital’s performance relative to other hospitals with a similar proportion of patients dually eligible for Medicare and full-benefit Medicaid.”
