Email ampparticipation@iha.org Access Final MY 2025 AMP Core Performance Results on November 16   Final MY 2025 AMP Core Performance Results will be available on the IHA website on November 16.   Your hard work and dedication enable us to release on-time, accurate results across the AMP Core programs. Special thanks to the Appeals Panel members who reviewed and adjudicated this year’s appeals. We will send a reminder email when final results are available.     in other news New interactive Plug n’ Play tool available for MY 2025 incentive design   HEALTH PLANS A new and improved, interactive version of the AMP Core Plug n' Play for MY 2025 is here to help you translate AMP Core PO performance results into PO incentive payments based on the standard incentive design. The tool models the AMP Core incentive design while giving you the flexibility to accommodate your plan's unique business needs and incentive preferences.   We’ve shared preliminary versions directly with health plans currently using the standard design, and we will release a final version to all health plans on November 20.   PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS New AMP Core PO Worksheets for MY 2025 are under development! These worksheets help you understand how final AMP Core performance results translate into PO incentive payments under the standard incentive design. We expect to release the final version to all provider organizations in early January.   Note: The PO Worksheets are a modeling tool only and do not reflect actual health plan payments to POs. The default maximum per-member-per-month (PMPM) payment is set to $4; health plans can adjust it, along with other elements of the recommended design, when determining incentive payments. Now available: MY 2026 Audit Review Guidelines   The AMP Core MY 2026 Audit Review Guidelines (formerly known as The AMP Audit Manual) is now available on IHA.org. It outlines audit process changes and the updated audit timeline for MY 2026. IHA follows NCQA’s HEDIS Compliance Audit Standards applied by Certified HEDIS Compliance Auditors to assess accuracy and reliability of data reported for AMP Core.     in the pipeline MY 2025 AMP Core award winners announced December 9   Each year, IHA celebrates POs across California that deliver high-quality, affordable, and most improved care. Award winners in AMP Commercial HMO/POS and AMP Medi-Cal Managed Care will be notified on November 30 and announced publicly on December 9, with a full list posted on IHA.org. AMP Medicare Advantage award winners will be announced in early 2027.   Update to the MY 2025 AMP Core Awards Methodology: As Cozeva works to bring all AMP-related operations onshore as IHA’s new data aggregator, MY 2025 cost and utilization results will be released in August 2027 and therefore will not be used for awards this year. Instead, MY 2025 AMP Core recognitions for Commercial HMO/POS and Medi-Cal Managed Care will use MY 2025 clinical quality results and MY 2024 cost and utilization results. See the AMP Core PO Recognition Methodologies Document here for specifics. Public comment responses and Final MY 2027 AMP Core Measure Set to post December 15   Thank you to everyone who submitted comments during IHA’s 2026 Public Comment Period. IHA staff and committees are reviewing all comments now. We’ll publish the full list of comments and IHA committee-approved responses on IHA.org on December 15, along with the Final MY 2027 AMP Core Measure Set. Reminder: MY 2026 program fees for POs   MY 2026 AMP Core program fees for provider organizations will be invoiced in early 2027, after Participation Confirmation closes. Program fees are assessed for each provider organization reported for AMP Core and supplement the fees paid by health plans to sustain AMP Core as the trusted source of performance results. Invoices will come from accounting@iha.org. If you have questions about program fees or updates to your contact(s) for invoices, please contact amp@iha.org.
