Physician Group Incentive Program to accept applications for new organized systems of care

We’d like to invite newly formed organized systems of care to apply to become PGIP-contracted OSCs. Applications will be accepted from July 1, 2016, through Aug. 31, 2016. OSCs whose applications are approved will become PGIP-contracted OSCs, effective Dec. 1, 2016.

About OSCs
An organized system of care is a community of caregivers with a shared commitment to quality and cost-effective health care delivery for a specific population. OSCs are responsible for the care and treatment provided to a patient population attributed to the community’s primary care physicians.

OSCs use coordinated care processes to achieve benchmark performance in quality and cost. They identify the populations they serve, tracking and assessing performance and establishing performance goals. Each OSC will work to coordinate services across the health care continuum for a defined patient population.

Why join?
Participating in our Organized Systems of Care program gives you the opportunity to earn financial rewards by participating in initiatives that lead to the development of integrated care processes and an OSC infrastructure. PGIP-contracted OSCs also will be eligible to participate in the new Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan tiered Blue Cross^® Personal Choice PPO product that launches late this year.
