(6) Pay for Performance (P4P) Incentive Payments. Subject to a purchasing governmental unit’s determination of the availability of funds, P4P providers receive incentive payments through the Pay for Performance (P4P) Program as defined by the purchasing governmental unit and as follows. (a) Performance Indicators. Each performance indicator is calculated to produce aggregate numbers that will be used to establish baseline information, attainment thresholds, and performance benchmarks, relative to the distribution of P4P eligible providers. Performance indicator rates are calculated by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each measure to obtain a percentage. A measure’s denominator is the number of clients served by a P4P eligible provider who are eligible for the performance measure and the numerator is the subset of the denominator who meet the measure’s specific performance criteria. (b) Payment Eligibility. To be eligible for payment for a performance indicator, a P4P eligible provider must

be an eligible provider as of a certain date, the date to be established by the purchasing governmental unit on an annual basis; and

17 2. have a minimum number (minimum to be established by the purchasing governmental unit) of clients who must meet specific performance indicator criteria during the date range for which performance is being measured. (c) Performance Score. For each performance indicator for which the P4P eligible provider is eligible per 101 CMR 346.04(6), P4P eligible providers will earn points for either achieving a benchmark or for improving their performance over their previous year’s performance. Points will be awarded to a P4P eligible provider for each indicator, according to the methodologies in 101 CMR 346.04(6)(c).

Attainment Points. P4P eligible providers may earn points based on where the P4P eligible provider’s performance falls, relative to the attainment threshold and to the benchmark set for each performance indicator. The attainment threshold is set at the median of all P4P eligible providers’ performance rates. The benchmark is set at the 75 th

percentile of all P4P eligible providers’ performance rates. P4P eligible providers will receive attainment points between the range of zero and ten for each performance indicator, as noted in 101 CMR 346.04(6)(c). a. If a P4P eligible provider’s performance rate is below the attainment threshold, it will receive zero attainment points. b. If a P4P eligible provider’s performance rate is greater than or equal to the benchmark, it will receive ten attainment points. c. If a P4P eligible provider’s performance rate is below the benchmark, but at or above the attainment threshold, the P4P eligible provider will receive anywhere from one to up to, but less than, ten attainment points, as calculated using the following formula.

Improvement Points. P4P eligible providers may earn improvement points if the P4P eligible provider has demonstrated improvement from its previous year’s performance rate. The P4P eligible provider’s improvement points will be calculated based on the following formula. P4P Eligible Provider’s Improvement Points =

P4P Eligible Provider Awarded Points. For each performance indicator, the awarded points are the higher of the attainment or improvement points earned by the P4P eligible provider. In no event will the number of points awarded exceed ten for each performance

18 indicator. Each performance indicator’s awarded points are then summed across all the indicators a P4P eligible provider is eligible for to determine the total awarded points for a P4P eligible provider.

P4P Eligible Provider’s Awarded Points = (Points Awarded Indicator 1) + (Points Awarded Indicator 2) + .........(Points Awarded Indicator N)

P4P Eligible Provider Potential Points. The total potential points for a P4P eligible provider is determined by multiplying the number of performance indicators the P4P eligible provider is eligible for (see 101 CMR 346.04(6)) by the maximum number of points per performance indicator (10).

Potential Points = (Number of Performance Indicators for which a P4P Eligible Provider is Eligible) X 10

P4P Eligible Provider Performance Score. The P4P eligible provider’s performance score reflects a percentage between 0% and 100%. The P4P eligible provider awarded points is divided by the P4P eligible provider potential points to obtain the P4P eligible provider performance score based on the following formula.

P4P Eligible Provider Performance Score = (P4P Eligible Provider Awarded Points) / (P4P Eligible Provider Potential Points) (d) Per Client Payment Amount. The per client payment amount is determined as follows. The per client payment amount is determined by dividing the aggregate dollar figure determined by the purchasing governmental unit(s) to be available for incentive payments by the statewide adjusted clients calculated as described below.

Per Client Payment Amount = Aggregate Dollar Amount Available for Incentive Payments Statewide Adjusted Clients

Statewide Adjusted Clients. The statewide adjusted clients figure is calculated by summing over all P4P eligible providers, each P4P eligible provider’s adjusted clients number.

Statewide Adjusted Clients = (P4PEP 1 Adjusted Clients) + (P4PEP 2 Adjusted Clients) + ...... (P4PEP N Adjusted Clients)

P4P Eligible Provider Adjusted Clients. Each P4P eligible provider’s number of clients served during the measurement period is multiplied by the P4P eligible provider’s performance score to derive the “adjusted clients” figure.

(e) P4P Eligible Provider Total Performance Indicator Payment Amount. A P4P eligible provider’s performance indicator incentive payment is calculated as the product of

the P4P eligible provider’s performance score calculated as per 101 CMR 346.04(6)(c);
the number of P4P eligible provider clients served during the measurement period; and
the per client payment amount that is calculated as per 101 CMR 346.04(6)(d).

P4P Eligible Provider Total Performance Indicator Payment Amount = (P4P Eligible Provider Performance Score) x (number of P4P Eligible Provider clients served) x (Per Client Payment Amount)

(7) Publicly Assisted Client Mix Factor for Certain Services with Rates Established at 101 CMR 346.00. The publicly assisted client mix factor described in 101 CMR 346.04(7) is effective for dates of service on and after July 1, 2025, and applies as described in 101 CMR 346.04(7)(a) through (d). (a) Calculation of Publicly Assisted Client Mix. The publicly assisted client mix is an individual provider’s bed days attributable to publicly assisted clients divided by the total bed days for clinically managed detoxification services and medically monitored inpatient detoxification services described at 101 CMR 346.04(7)(c) and expressed as a percentage of publicly assisted client bed days. For the purposes of 101 CMR 346.04(7), “bed day” means a date of service, or portion thereof, during which a service recipient is inpatient and on which the provider furnishes the inpatient services described at 101 CMR 346.04(7)(c). (b) Applicable Provider Rate. The applicable rate for each provider of services described at 101 CMR 346.04(7)(c) is based on each provider's publicly assisted client mix calculated in accordance with 101 CMR 346.04(7)(a) and as determined by EOHHS. Applicable provider rates are as follows:

Base Rate: the rate established at 101 CMR 346.04(5)
Tier 1 Rate: the base rate multiplied by a publicly assisted client mix factor of 1.05
Tier 2 Rate: the base rate multiplied by a publicly assisted client mix factor of 1.07 (c) Rates for Certain Inpatient Services Subject to Publicly Assisted Client Mix Factor. The publicly assisted client mix factors with associated applicable provider rates described at 101 CMR 346.04(7)(b) apply to the following inpatient services with rates established at 101 CMR 346.04(5):
H0011 (medically monitored inpatient detoxification services facility); and
H0010 (clinically managed detoxification services). (d) Administrative Bulletins. EOHHS may issue administrative bulletins to establish the period and source of data used by EOHHS to determine the publicly assisted client mix in accordance with 101 CMR 346.04(7)(a); the criteria for the applicable provider rate, including the publicly assisted client mix that is attributable to each applicable provider rate in accordance with 101 CMR 346.04(7)(b); and to clarify substantive provisions of 101 CMR 346.04(7).
