Matthew Ferrara letter


Hello everyone --

Over the last few years, HHSC has been increasingly focused on Alternative Payment  Models (APM). APMs (often called value based purchasing (VBP)), refer to healthcare payment models that move away from simple fee for service to models that create linkages between the healthcare payment and measures of quality and/or efficiency (i.e. "value"). Through the Managed Care Organization's contract, HHSC is strengthening its requirements for MCOs to expand APMs with providers.

Because APM  is a paradigm shift, we seek your feedback on a short survey. If you are with a Provider or MCO Association, please forward this email to your association members. If you are an RHP Anchor, please forward to DSRIP Providers (one response from each DSRIP provider would be great). The more feedback we receive, the more it helps HHSC understand APMs from your perspectives.  HHSC will be setting up a meeting with MCOs and providers to discuss this issue, and the information obtained from the survey will help guide the discussion.

This is the web-link into the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VBP-Implementation-Survey
