The California Pay for Performance (P4P) program measures the performance of physician groups in treating their Medicare Advantage patients on a common set of clinical quality measures.
For each physician group, this report card shows an overall clinical score, reported as a certain number of stars, and an individual score for each of 13 measures.
- To access the information in this report card, first select a county. The overall clinical results for all of the physician groups serving that county will appear in alphabetical order.
- To view the performance on a specific measure, select that measure from the list on the left of the page. Physician group results will appear from highest to lowest.
Data for the Medicare clinical measures are collected from physician groups who self-reported results. Only electronic sources of data can be used, and all data must be audited. Restricting data to electronic sources encourages adoption of Information Technology in support of patient management, but creates challenges in collecting clinical data and measuring outcomes of care. Because of this restriction, the rates displayed in this report card are not comparable to measures that allow data to be extracted manually from patient charts.
