Registration is now open for our annual Stakeholders’ Conference on Thursday, December 8 from 9 am -12 pm PST. We invite all AMP participants to register at no-charge by choosing the “Member” option at registration.

This year’s theme is “Aligning for Success,” and the AMP session, titled “A Focus on Primary Care and Health Equity: Driving Industry Alignment around Healthcare’s Top Priorities” will feature Alice Chen, MD, MPH, of Covered California, and Christine Castano, MD, chair of IHA’s Technical Measurement Committee. We'll also present insights from Measurement Year (MY) 2021 AMP results and announce our 2022 award winners for the AMP Commercial HMO program.

MY 2022 Audit Review Guidelines now available

The AMP MY 2022 Audit Manual is now available on IHA.org! IHA follows NCQA’s HEDIS Compliance Audit Standards.

Provider resource: Get to know the AMP programs

For provider organization staff, particularly those onboarding new team members to AMP, please refer to our AMP 101 presentation. We've updated it for MY 2022 and hope it helps your teams understand AMP and what's expected as a participating provider organization.
