Join our Medicare Advantage Quality Incentive Program
This program includes ways to promote early detection and assessment of chronic conditions. You’ll provide the care your patients need, while earning incentives. You can participate if you are a primary care physician with 50 -749 attributed Aetna Medicare Advantage members and are not currently participating in another Aetna/Coventry value based contract or program.
Part D prescriber enrollment requirement
Any health care professional who prescribes drugs to patients with Part D plans must now enroll in the Medicare program or opt out. If you do not enroll or opt out, Medicare Part D may no longer cover these drugs as of February 1, 2017. Please try to enroll or opt out by November 1, 2016. This will allow time for application processing and ensure that patients get their prescriptions without disruption.
