Tenets of PROMETHEUS Payment®

• No one receives a provider's payment unless the provider bargained to be paid through another party.

• Mechanisms of payment and systems of reporting are transparent and public.

• Providers have the option to configure themselves in whatever aggregations they choose.

• The implementation of PROMETHEUS explicitly seeks to lower administrative burden wherever possible.

• Providers measured for efficiency will have information about other providers in order to facilitate effective referral choices.

• Providers have the opportunity to speak to scorecard issues (e.g., data, findings before they are made public.)
