  • Title: A physician incentive compensation program in a staff model HMO.
    Author: Lipsitz DJ, Nagler HJ, Giannelli A.
    Journal: HMO Pract; 1993 Jun; 7(2):82-7. PubMed ID: 10171466.
    Abstract:
    A physician incentive program was developed at an established staff model HMO. Differential compensation, which augments a salary scale that reflects years of experience and service, is based on productivity and utilization of laboratory and x-ray services. Productivity is objectively measured on a relative-value-scale for time utilized for a range of types of visits. Laboratory and x-ray utilization is measured against recent historical practice patterns. A case mix adjustment stratifies for age in the adult patient encounters.
