2026 is the year that home health gets a new HHVBP playbook. Are you ready?

CMS is rolling out sweeping Home Health VBP and payment changes effective January 1, 2026, bringing the biggest shift in years to how quality, cost, and functional outcomes shape agency reimbursement. With payment cuts, new performance measures, and higher expectations for data accuracy, agencies that fail to prepare early will feel the impact fast.

In this session, industry expert Melinda Gaboury will decode the 2026 rules and translate them into practical strategies your agency can implement immediately. You’ll discover how these changes affect clinical operations, therapy utilization, financial stability, and your agency’s standing in the Value-Based Purchasing model.
