CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) today announced that nearly 60 percent of eligible primary care Panels (small groupings/teams of primary care physicians and nurse practitioners) earned increased reimbursements for their 2011 performance in CareFirst’s Patient-Centered Medical (PCMH) program. Increased reimbursements – or Outcome Incentive Awards (OIAs) – are based on a combination of savings achieved by a particular Panel against projected 2011 total care costs for CareFirst members as well as the attainment of quality points in the provision of care to Panel patients.
