About Physician Group Incentive Program

PGIP is an initiative to work with physician groups. This program is an incentive program for BCBSM TRUST-participating physicians. The goal of the program is to achieve measurable savings, strengthen the performance improvement infrastructure available to clinicians and reward physicians for their improvements in care.

Participation in this program enables the physician groups to:

• Develop a group level relationship with BCBSM, enhancing the current individual contractual relationship presently held with BCBSM
• Participate in a pay-for-performance program at the ground level with some influence as to its formation and its execution
• Potentially share in financial savings generated by advancements in quality and practice improvements

This participation is without financial risk. CIPA shares administrative support funds with CIPA-contracted groups. That support can be used to provide stipends to physicians participating in medical management committees and other practice improvement efforts.
