DCE Network Building: Primary Care Physician Scorecard

By Mimi Freleaux | April 21, 2021

For anyone exploring their options for creating a value-based care organization like a MSSP Accountable Care Organization (ACO) or Global and Professional Direct Contracting (GPDC) Model, there are many moving pieces to plan for and evaluate. But many groups are hesitant to seriously consider forming a risk-sharing entity, given the changes the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) has recently made and the uncertainty surrounding the program. Regardless of the future of value-based care, one thing is for certain: in order to succeed, you have to have a strong primary care physician network (PCP).

But which metrics should you use to decide if a PCP will help or hurt your ACO or GPDC’s ability to reach your benchmark goals? Download our Primary Care Physician Scorecard template for a simple, straightforward way to track and identify the most important PCP performance metrics. Quickly assess the PCPs in your target location by comparing performance on metrics like:

  • DCE-Attributed Lives
  • Per Member Per Year (PMPY) Average Spend
  • Hierarchal Conditional Category (HCC) Patient Risk Score
  • Preventative Care Claims
  • Current and Historical MSSP ACO Participation
