Establishes requirements for incentive-based value payment system for home health agencies and health care service firms.
This bill establishes a mandatory incentive-based payment system for home health agencies and healthcare service firms that serve NJ FamilyCare recipients enrolled in Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans. It requires these providers to meet specific performance targets across nine key health outcomes - including reduced hospitalizations, improved patient mobility, medication reconciliation, and fewer adverse events - to earn additional payments. The system measures performance using standardized metrics from the "Outcome and Assessment Information Set," with payments distributed by managed care organizations based on achieved results. Agencies must also implement protocols for care coordination, discharge follow-up, and patient education as part of participation.
