The Episode Quality Improvement Program (EQIP) will provide incentive payments to practitioners who improve the quality of care and reduce the cost of care that they provide to Maryland Medicare patients. EQIP is designed to:
– Help the State meet the financial targets of Total Cost of Care (TCOC) Model
– Include more practitioners in a value-based payment framework (that is, to have responsibility and share in rewards for reducing Medicare TCOC spending)
– Encourage multi-payer alignment in a value-based payment framework
– Include more episodes than in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center (CMMI) models
– Broaden access to Medicare’s Advanced APM (AAPM) MACRA opportunity
A short overview of EQIP can be found here. If you have any questions or would like further information, feel free to reach out to me or directly or to EQIP@crisphealth.org.
