Identify the effect of the Alternative Quality Contract (AQC), a global payment system implemented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBS) in 2009, on emergency department (ED) utilization. BCBS claims from 2006–2009 for 332,624 enrollees whose primary care physician (PCP) enrolled in the AQC, and 1,296,399 whose PCP was not enrolled in the AQC were evaluated. We used a pre-post, intervention-control, propensity scored difference-in-difference approach to isolate the AQC effect on ED utilization. The analysis adjusted for age, sex, health status and secular trends to compare ED utilization between the treatment and control groups. Overall, secular trends showed ED utilization decreased slightly for both treatment and control groups. The adjusted analysis of the AQC group showed decreases from 0.131 to 0.127 visits per member/quarter, and the control group decreased from 0.157 to 0.152 visits per member/quarter. The difference-in-difference analysis showed the AQC had no statistically significant effect on total ED utilization compared to the control group. In its first year, the AQC had no significant effect on ED utilization. Similar global budget programs may not alter ED use in the initial implementation period.
