Anthem to Pay for Performance
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana (a subsidiary of Wellpoint) announced an incentive program for physicians in their network which could increase their reimbursements by 10% if they follow recommended care guidelines.
Bonuses that physicians would be eligible for would be based their relative ranking when comparing the health status of their patients to others in the region.
The effectiveness that this program will have on improving care for Indiana residents is yet to be determined.
