Cases were patients with HF who had a Q050A fee code billed. Cases and controls were matched 1:1 on age, sex, patient status on being rostered to a primary care physician, cardiologist, or internist visit in the 6\u2009months before study enrollment, Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Group resource use bands, days between HF diagnosis and study enrollment (\u00b12\u2009years), and the logit of the propensity score. A Cox proportional hazards model assessed the association of Q050A with the outcome. A total of 59\u2009664 cases had a Q050A billed, whereas 244\u2009883 patients did not. Before matching, patients who had a Q050A billed were more likely to be men (52% versus 49%), were rostered to a primary care physician (100% versus 96%), had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index, and had higher health care costs. The mean follow\u2010up was 481\u2009days for cases and 530\u2009days for controls. The composite outcome (hazard ratio, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.09\u20131.12]) was significantly higher for cases than controls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong> &mdash; The Q050A incentive improved financial compensation for primary care physicians managing patients with HF but was not associated with improvements in the outcome.
