Quality Incentive Adjustments Coming October 1, 2024

Date: 08/22/24

Beginning October 1, 2024, our quality incentives will be adjusted for all in-network providers as noted below. This adjustment is designed to coordinate with statewide efforts to improve Louisiana's health on specific quality measures, and incorporates feedback from our provider network.

Early detection and preventive care are crucial strategies for improving the health outcomes of Louisiana’s citizens, and physicians like you play a key role in driving that strategy. That’s why we pay healthcare practitioners a quality bonus when they provide our members with needed services, like screenings for child and adolescent well-care, cervical cancer, Hepatitis C, colorectal cancer, STIs, follow up after certain emergency department visits and more.

Thank you for all you do to promote preventive care and early detection.  We are happy to enclose with this letter:

  • A full list of incentivized services, CPT codes and quality bonus amounts
  • Detailed reports about your quality bonus payment, as well as other quality measures, are available on the secure provider portal (https://provider.louisianahealthconnect.com).

Thank you for your efforts for early detection and preventive care among your patients – our members. We value your partnership in transforming Louisiana’s health, one person at a time.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your dedicated Provider Engagement Administrator or call Provider Services at 1-866-595-8133.
