The goal of the monthly newsletter is to keep stakeholders up to date about program changes and deadlines. The newsletter has three main content areas:
Need to Do, which will alert stakeholders to information and requirements for successful program participation, such as upcoming deadlines.
In Other News, which will share other program-related news, such as upcoming industry webinars or conferences.
In the Pipeline, which will provide a longer term view of upcoming key program dates.
All newsletters are archived in the "Newsletters" section of the IHA website, so you can easily find and share the latest program information.

Congratulations to AMP Medicare Advantage Award Winners
Our AMP Medicare Advantage program measures performance and publicly reports star ratings for medical groups and IPAs. We use the same measures and methodologies established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Star Ratings program for health plans.
We’re excited to recognize POs that earned 4.5- and 5-star quality ratings, as well as the POs that improved the most year over year.
In MY 2018:
28 POs earned an overall 5-star rating.
41 POs earned an overall 4.5-star rating.
87 POs improved their overall star rating by at least ½ a star from MY 2017 to MY 2018.
We're updating our Atlas web tool with new MY 2017 Medi-Cal and Medicare fee-for-service results in late January! MY 2018 results are also on the way and expected for release later this year.
Health plan review of MY 2018 Atlas results is scheduled for late January. Health plans will be asked to login at atlas.iha.org to review health plan specific results and submit any questions prior to the public release of MY 2018 Atlas results.
