Medicaid Pay for Performance among Obstetric Providers
New London County, CT
Cohort 1 - 2012
NLAPH
Overview
The project will focus on the development of a strategy that advocates for a new optional Medicaid Pay-for-Performance (P4P) policy among obstetric providers affiliated with two hospitals in New London County. The P4P Initiative will link the delivery of evidence-based prenatal care performance measures to Healthcare for Uninsured Kids and Youth reimbursement rates. Performance measures associated with this initiative include access and entry into care, adequacy of care, delivery method, completion of the postpartum visit, and screening and referrals for risk factors.
