the HEDIS rate the higher the default rate
and capitation rate becomes, therefore incentives are only available to members in product lines where
HEDIS performance is linked to revenue.
W&I Code, Section 14407.1 and Title 28, CCR, Section 1300.46 authorizes the use of non-monetary
incentives to promote good health practices provided they are pre-approved by the Department of Health
Care Services. The CCHP incentive program goals for 2009 are attached. While the incentive program goals
remain the same for the coming fiscal year, CCHP has cut the request by 50% over 08/09 spending.
The Health Services Department will follow the requirements in Administrative Bulletin #615 - Incentives for County
Programs and Services in implemeting this program.
