To have a quality star rating computed, Home Health Agencies must have reported data for 5 of the 7 measures used in the Quality of Patient Care Star Ratings calculation. The seven measures used to calculate the quality star rating are: timely initiation of care, improvement in ambulation, bed transferring, bathing, shortness of breath, management of oral medications and relapse in acute care hospitalizations.

Nursing Home Compare Information

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services publishes Home Health Compare quality of care data to provide consumers an easy way to compare "Medicare-certified" home health agencies throughout the nation. "Medicare-certified" home health agencies are approved by Medicare and meet certain federal health and safety requirements.

The Home Health Compare information helps consumers learn how well home health agencies care for their patients, how often each agency used best practices when caring for its patients and what patients said about their recent home health care experience.

NPI Validation Check Digit Calculation


The following table explains the step by step NPI number validation process using the ISO standard Luhn algorithm.

Start with the original NPI number, the last digit is the check digit and is not used in the calculation.
1033524921
Step 1: Double the value of the alternate digits, beginning with the rightmost digit.
2063102894
Step 2: Add all the doubled and unaffected individual digits from step 1 plus the constant number 24.
2 + 0 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 8 + 9 + 4 + 24 = 59
Step 3: Subtract the total obtained in step 2 from the next higher number ending in zero, the result is the check digit.
60 - 59 = 11

The NPI number 1033524921 is valid because the calculated check digit 1 using the Luhn validation algorithm matches the last digit of the original NPI number.
