Access to PPR and PPC Performance Reports for Hospitals Effective June 1, 2021

Last updated on

On June 1, 2021, hospitals will receive access to their state fiscal year (SFY) 2020 Potentially Preventable Readmissions (PPR) and Potentially Preventable Complications (PPC) hospital-level portable document format (PDF) reports and underlying Excel™ data files.

These reports are compiled using fee-for-service claims and managed care organization inpatient data from September 1, 2019, to August 31, 2020 (SFY 2020). For this reporting period, payment adjustments to hospitals based on PPR and PPC performance will be effective from September 1, 2021, to August 31, 2022 (SFY 2022).

In a change from PPR reports of previous reporting periods, payment adjustments for SFY 2022 will be based on a hospital’s unweighted PPR results in relation to statewide norms.

In addition, data determined to be from a hospital stay involving COVID-19 will be excluded from analysis for both PPR and PPC payment adjustments.

The hospital-level PDF reports and underlying Excel data files will be delivered on June 1, 2021, to user accounts on the TMHP secure provider portal. To access this portal, visit tmhp.com:
