PIP 2011
2011 marks the 13th year of PIP — Priority Health’s physician incentive program.
The PIP program provides financial incentives for excellent health care outcomes, improved
infrastructure and added efficiencies within your practice.
In 2011, we’ve revised past measures, added new measures and implemented new incentives
for infrastructure. One valuable change is PIP’s increased support of Patient Centered
Medical Home (PCMH) initiatives. PIP is designed to financially support practices beginning
PCMH work as well as those that have achieved recognition through governing bodies, such
as NCQA, BCBS PGIP PCMH and URAC.
