CMS is conducting an evaluation of the Medicare Care Management Performance (MCMP) Demonstration. The MCMP demonstration is a pay-for performance demonstration with physician practices that provide primary care for at least 50 traditional fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries with congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and other selected chronic diseases. The goals of the demonstration are to (1) improve quality of care to eligible fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries and (2) to encourage the implementation and use of health information technology (HIT).
CMS contracted to conduct an independent evaluation of the demonstration. The evaluation will include a beneficiary (patient) and physician survey. The purpose of the beneficiary survey is to assess the impact of the demonstration on patient health behaviors, satisfaction with care, functioning status and access to care. Data from the physician survey will be used to assess physicians' perceptions of the performance incentive payments on quality of care they provide, patient outcomes, use of electronic health records and other related health information technology to provide quality care, and the effect of the demonstration on their practice and office workflow.
