California-based L.A. Care Health Plan is offering primary care physicians incentives to give members their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination.
In-network providers who administer a first dose between Feb. 14 and April 30 will receive a $10 incentive per patient. Second and third doses do not qualify.
The program aims to use primary care providers as a trusted source of information to educate members on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
Providers who opt in to the program by Feb. 28 will receive a list of eligible L.A. Care Health Plan patients who qualify, allowing the providers to conduct outreach.
