Modern Physician reports that Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in 32 states are offering physician pay-for-performance programs, and 14 more are making plans to add them. A survey by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation for Healthcare finds that 68 percent of its primary care physicians and 48 percent of its specialists are enrolled in the program. Good news for supporters of pay-for-performance, not so good for those who still question the merit of the idea.
