FEE FOR SERVICE MEASURES Fee for Service (FFS) Measures provide a single payment incentive to PCP sites in exchange for performing a service or activity. All 2018 measures require providers to submit a form to the Alliance attesting the completion of the health care service in order to receive CBI incentive payment. FFS incentives are paid on a quarterly basis, at the end of the quarter in which the attestation form was received, as long as the date of service was within the calendar year. There is no rate calculation for FFS measures; PCP Sites are paid each time a qualifying service is performed. Unlike Programmatic measures, there are no minimum eligible member requirements for FFS measures. PCP Site s will receive incentive payments for each member with a qualifying service, regardless of how many members were eligible for the measure. All CBI FFS forms must be submitted to the Alliance via fax within 21 days from the date of service. P a g e 64 of 72 Version 2018.5
