The Medical Condition Assessment Incentive Program (MCAIP) aligns with the Medicare Advantage Primary Care Physician Incentive (MA-PCPi) program. MCAIP offers 3 bonus opportunities when you assess suspect medical conditions for your patients.
Get rewarded when you assess suspect medical conditions for Medicare Advantage members.
Earn an additional bonus for each fully assessed member.
Earn an additional bonus when you achieve a 4.00 Average Star Rating and evaluate at least 65% of identified suspect medical conditions.
We invite eligible primary care physicians to enroll in the program annually. Your invitation to participate is sent by mail and outlines the current year’s bonus opportunities and criteria.
Your practice can earn a quarterly bonus when you assess eligible UnitedHealthcare® Medicare Advantage members for suspect medical conditions. Eligible members and medical conditions are identified in the Patient Care Opportunity Report (PCOR) and Practice Assist. Practice Assist is also used to document the results of your assessment.
Here’s how it works:
Your practice may earn an additional $10 for each suspect medical condition you assess for a fully assessed member. Fully assessed means the member has been assessed for each suspect condition. The bonus is multiplied by the total number of suspect medical conditions that you assessed for the member.
Bonus calculation

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Joe Smith | 8 | 7 | 1 | 0 | Y | $80 |
Dana Turner | 10 | 8 | 2 | 0 | Y | $100 |
