Attention: Primary Care Providers
Effective Date: August 2020
Texas Children’s Health Plan would like to thank you for the dedication and care you continually provide to our valued members. We appreciate all your effort in improving the quality of care our members receive every day. Our HEDIS metrics are just one way we see that outcome, and it is reflected in our provider incentive program (PIP) results. We would like to share an update made to our PIP because of your feedback. We value your partnership and take your comments seriously. You have provided meaningful inputonthis program and we have implemented enhancements accordingly. How this impacts providers:As of August 2020, we are modifying the member attribution algorithm to a provider for the purposes of calculating the HEDIS scores for the incentive programs. Previous algorithm: Measured PCP performance based on members who were attributed to the PCP at the end of the HEDIS measurement period. Updated algorithm: Measure PCP performance based on the following member attribution logic
