Quality Incentive Payment Program (QIPP) | Provider Finance Department

General Information

During the 83rd Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature outlined its goals for adding managed care to nursing facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission was directed to encourage transformative efforts in the delivery of nursing facility services, including "efforts to promote a resident-centered care culture through facility design and services provided."

In 2014, HHSC established the Minimum Payment Amount Program, which became effective in 2015. MPAP establishes minimum payment amounts for qualified nursing facilities in STAR+PLUS. The STAR+PLUS managed care organizations pay the minimum payment amounts to qualified nursing facilities based on state direction. The program was intended to be a short-term program that would ultimately transition to a performance-based initiative.

HHSC Budget Rider 97 in the 2016-2017 budget directs HHSC to transition the Minimum Payment Amount Program to the Quality Incentive Payment Program (QIPP).

The Quality Incentive Payment Program encourages nursing facilities to improve the quality and innovation of their services, using the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid five star rating system as its measure of success.
