House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Jackson urges the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) to enhance reporting and legislative oversight of the Medicaid Care Incentive Payment (MCIP) program. The MCIP program aims to improve healthcare quality and outcomes through performance-based incentive payments to providers, utilizing public funds and involving multiple entities. The resolution highlights the need for clear accountability and timely information regarding the program's performance and financial activities, as current reporting is often limited and delayed.
To address these concerns, the resolution requests that LDH require biannual reports from each Quality Improvement Network (QN), the Louisiana Quality Network (LQN), and Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) participating in the MCIP program. These reports should include details on incentive payments, participating hospital networks, and performance results. Additionally, LDH is asked to facilitate annual in-person briefings for legislative committees to discuss program performance and funding. The overall goal is to ensure the legislature receives comprehensive and timely information to enhance oversight of the MCIP program and the use of incentive funds.
