Well Child Visits – Provider Incentive Program HEDIS measure has changed

Providers will now be measured on W156, well-child visits in the first 15 months of life (6 or more visits). Members assigned to your panel within the designated age range are eligible in January. Tell your Texas Children’s Health Plan patients that they can get up to 2 free packs of disposable diapers for completing their 12-month and 15-month well-child checks! Limit 1 pack of diapers per visit. Well-child visits are part of important HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) metrics. These measures include Well-Child Visits in the First 15 Months of Life and Well-Child Visits in the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Years of Life.
