USDC No. 2:98-CV-121

--------------------- February 9, 1999 Before BARKSDALE, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges. * PER CURIAM: ** Texas state prisoner Jessie R. Torres, #702908, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint with prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) as frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. WeNo. 98-10793 - 2 - have reviewed the record and Torres’s brief and conclude that

Torres has failed to identify any error in the dismissal. See Torres v. Hays , No. 2:98-CV-0121 (N.D. Tex. Jun. 25, 1998). Torres’s appeal is without arguable merit and therefore frivolous. See Howard v. King , 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). Because the appeal is frivolous, it is DISMISSED. See 5 TH C IR . R. 42.2 . We caution Torres that any additional frivolous appeals filed by him or on his behalf will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Torres is further cautioned to review any pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise arguments that are frivolous. APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTIONS WARNING ISSUED.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Michael Wroblewski, Craig Caplan

FROM: Wil Lim DATE: 2/2 1 /2013

SUBJECT : Description of How Nearest Neighbor Builds upon the Current Peer Grouping Approach for Per Capita Costs

Th is memo describe s how the “nearest neighbor” approach builds upon the PY2012 peer grouping methodology of classifying groups based solely on size by expanding it to incorporate group practice specialty mix. This revised methodology will lead to more comparable peer

groups for per capita costs measures.

To provide a comparative co ntext for assessing performance, group practices’ per capita costs are compared to benchmarks computed from the performance of practices in their peer group. In PY2012 reporting, these peer groups are defined according to practice size. Namely, the peer gr oup for practices with 100+ eligible p roviders (EPs) consists of all practices with 100+ EPs. The peer group for practices with 25

- 99 EPs consists of all practices with 25

- 99 EPs as well as practices with 100+ EPs. To create more comparable peer groups for future reporting cycles

, we will build upon this approach by add ing specialty mix to peer grouping methodology and giving more (or less) weight to the performance of groups that are more (or less) comparable to a referenced group practice.

We construct m ore comparable peer groups by first stratifying practices into two distinct categories, practices with 25

- 99 EPs and practices with 100+ EPs. Practices with 100+ EPs will no longer be included in the peer group for practices with 25

- 99 EPs, so that the for mer’s effective weight in the latter’s benchmark is zero. We then classify practices based on the share of physicians of each specialty , similar in principal to how we group practices based on ranges of practice size. Practices are considered to have the same specialty mix if the share of physicians of each specialty is within the same range (e.g. 0

- 25%, 26

- 50%, 51

- 75%, 76

- 100%) for both practices. For example, if we were to c onsider only two specialties, cardiology and primary care, then a practice that was 30% cardiology and 40% primary care would be given equal weight as a practice that was 40% cardiology and 30% primary care, because both specialties fall into the 26

- 50% ra nge for both practices. A practice that was 30% cardiology and 60% primary care would be in a less comparable, but neighboring, range and would be given less weight when computing the benchmark average. By doing this for all possible pairs of practices and weighting based on comparability, we are then able to compute benchmarks that are constructed from a more comparable peer group.MEMO TO: Michael Wroblewski, Craig Caplan
