Physician involvement is crucial to creating a healthy physician incentive program. Look at how one large, Michigan-based managed care organization established their program.
All compensation arrangements contain incentives. Fee-for-service encourages physicians to render excessive services: capitation does the opposite. The federal government has published regulations that govern managed care organizations' physician incentive plans. Most health plans already comply with the new requirements.
This final rule amends the regulations established by a March 27, 1996, final rule with comment period. The regulations govern physician incentive plans operated by Federally-qualified health maintenance organizations and competitive medical plans contracting with the Medicare program, and certain health maintenance organizations and health insuring organizations contracting with the Medicaid program. As explained in the March 27 rule, the provisions of this final rule will also have an effect on certain entities subject to the physician referral rules in section 1877 of the Social Security Act.
In the March 27, 1996, issue of the Federal Register, we published, at 61 FR 13430, a final rule with comment period that implements requirements in sections 4204(a) and 4731 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 that concern physician incentive plans. In the preamble of that rule, we set forth dates by which prepaid health plans had to comply with certain of the rule's provisions. This document clarifies and changes some of those deadlines, and provides an opportunity for public comments on them. It does not otherwise change the requirements set forth in the rule. In addition this document corrects the March 27 rule's inadvertent reversal of the nomenclature change made by a previous final rule.
