| Direct Contract and Provider Contracting in a P4P Environment |
As Pay for Performance emerges as a major strategy for Medicare and Medicaid many private payors are beginning to see and understand the variation in practice patterns, costs and outcomes. While some of these variations are regional many employers are amazed at the variation that is occurring between physicians and hospitals in the same town. This has provoked more questions about price transparency and quality. We believe that many hospitals and physicians need to see this reality as an opportunity to directly contract with employers and bypass some of the third party multiple rules and outcomes guidelines in favor of developing their own guidelines as part of an ongoing commitment to employers and consumers. We will address the elements to conduct a feasibility study and a checklist of questions to get started to explore this opportunity.
