Part A and Performance Incentives in the Era of COVID-19

Robert Tessier, President and Panelist for the Panel of National Pathology Leaders and Senior Reimbursement Consultant for HBP Services, gave an online presentation on November 12, 2020 as part of The Dark Intelligence Group’s COVID-19 STAT Briefings. The topic, “Part A and Performance Incentives in the Era of COVID-19,” offered participants the chance to learn about opportunities to structure value-based Part A performance incentives in a hospital contract; understand how these arrangements are grouped by clinical and management deliverables and include specific calculations on how to quantify each result; and see how actual experience is used to put this new income in context with current Part A support.

“The PNPL library contents and access to the PNPL membership have been invaluable resources as we navigate challenges around topics such as recruiting, hospital contract negotiations, insurer contracting as it relates to professional charges on clinical pathology work, and the implementation of digital pathology.”

“After joining PNPL, our pathology group in Arizona (one of the largest in the nation) found expert advice on billing, coding and digital pathology, as well as suggestions and support for our negotiations with United Healthcare. The PNPL team is full of experts in the pathology space who are sharing best practices, tools and templates that allow for knowledge in the industry. I highly recommend joining this think tank and look forward to continuing our relationship.”

Slide 4

“Joining PNPL has been invaluable. I’ve gained not only resources and insights that strengthen our pathology practice, but also a supportive community and network of colleagues who truly understand our field. PNPL is where collaboration, advocacy, thought provoking ideas, best practice, and professional growth come together — I encourage every pathology group to be part of it.”

Slide 5

“Membership in PNPL offers IU the ability to see the pathology field as a whole, rather than looking solely through the academic lens. The interaction with PNPL’s private practice groups allows me to understand their ‘pain points.’ Since our academic group includes community practices at the outlying hospitals, we too are feeling some of the same pain. Access to benchmarks from both academic and private practices has also been invaluable as I address issues on the academic side.”
