that are also in place in coverage offered through the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), the Public Employees Benefit Board

and/or quality scores for the program’s success metrics
■ If currently implemented in individual or small group commercial plans, describe how the strategy has performed –
identify the plans/networks and scope of providers that participate in the quality incentive or value-based program,
and explain the annual change in per-member cost and/or quality scores for the program’s success metrics
■ If not currently implemented in individual or small group commercial plans, describe how the strategy is expected to
perform – explain the program’s success metrics and the targeted change in those metrics
