Methodology
– Direct to Physician Payments

The IEHP (Inland Empire Health Plan) Immunization Program was the first attempt at a physician incentive program.

Program provided direct reimbursement to physicians for immunizations.
Physicians were reimbursed $50 for each well child visit done in accordance with the IEHP Well Child Visit schedule for Members 0 to 18 years old.
Implemented a $100 bonus for:
– Completion of 6 well child visits by 15 months.
– Submission of a complete immunization record prior to age 2.
