The EHP Board of Managers has approved the following model for distributing any bonus funds earned by EHP to participating providers:
Step 1:
EHP will reimburse the physician leadership positions on the Board of Managers and Advisory Committees for their participating in EHP business or operational meetings ($125 for each meeting attended). In order to fund compensation for the physician leadership pool, an annual threshold of $400,000 in shared savings must be achieved by the payout cutoff.
Step 2:
20% of the remaining bonus funds (not to exceed $200,000) will be paid to EvergreenHealth to offset EHP’s operating expenses. In order to disburse 20% of the remaining balance to EvergreenHealth, an annual threshold of $400,000 in shared savings must be achieved by the payout cutoff.
Step 3:
10% of the remaining funds will be paid to providers who meet attendance requirements for educational and training meetings. To earn this bonus, a provider must attend at least 75% of scheduled meetings, which include EvergreenHealth general physician education meetings, EHP-specific provider education/informational meetings and other EHP sponsored events.
Step 4:
Remaining funds will be shared equally between two pools, one for primary care and one for specialty care. These pools will be used to pay incentives earned by individual providers.
Step 5:
For 2014, incentive earnings will be calculated and paid based on the individual provider’s meeting of EHP data submission requirements:
- 100% of the incentive to providers who have met the requirements at the 80% level.
- 50% of the incentive to providers who have met the requirements at the 50% level.
As we look ahead to 2015, here are some things you can do to better position yourself for incentives:
- Be sure your CPT2 code data is consistently being sent to EHP
- Make good resource decisions
