To become self-sustaining, the H@H team determined that preventing 1 readmission every 2 weeks would result in a 1percent reduction in total CHF case costs. This was calculated by determining the amount at risk due to the 3percent Medicare Readmission penalty, nearly $30 million a year. The H@H financing model covers the costs of the program intervention and administration, with savings accruing to the payers (the total amount of savings is unknown at the time of publication).
