MassHealth HQAC Update

In a recent presentation to the Hospital Quality Advisory Committee (HQAC), MassHealth recently proposed new reporting measures as part of its acute hospital Pay-for-Performance (P4P) program, including three substance use disorder measures. MHA submitted feedback to MassHealth based on member input regarding the proposed changes for 2018. The association also requested that MassHealth discuss with hospitals how the upcoming MassHealth ACO program will affect the hospital quality program.
