Providing you with quality service

Providing you with quality service

Making sure you get the highest quality care when you need it is our goal. We partner with local providers who understand your needs. And the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) continues to accredit us. This is because we score high on:

 

Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) scores

We want to improve access to quality health care for our members. You have a large network of providers to help you reach your health goals. This includes: 

 

  • Obstetrician/gynecologists (Ob/Gyns)
  • Pediatricians
  • Top hospitals
  • Community groups

HEDIS scores help us make sure we’re meeting our goals. You can see our latest HEDIS results on this page. You can also learn more about HEDIS on the NCQA website.

Our goals and objectives

Our goals and objectives

The Quality Improvement Program includes these goals:

 

  • Promote and build quality into the daily operations and policies of the health plan.
  • Continually check and assess your needs, care and services to ensure you’re getting quality care at the right time.
  • Find areas for improvement and act on them.
  • Encourage patient safety through seasonal communications to you (for example, flu mailers).
  • Ensure we meet or exceed the highest quality by following local, state and federal regulatory requirements and accreditation standards.
  • Provide support for the things that affect health, like rides, food and housing support.

Our services

Our services

The program provides many services, which include:

 

  • Offering extra benefits to encourage wellness, including a preventive care rewards program
  • Sending you helpful postcards and newsletters about your health
  • Reviewing primary care provider offices to make sure they meet state standards
  • Reviewing the quality of our services
  • Reminding you and your provider about preventive health care
  • Measuring your satisfaction with your provider and health care services
  • Scanning phone calls to ensure that we answer your call quickly and that you get the correct info
  • Working with your providers to ensure they get all the info they need from us to provide you with quality care
  • Offering health programs, including info about chronic illnesses and one-on-one support for social determinants of health (conditions in the places where you live, learn, work and play that affect your health)

Reviewing new treatments and care

Reviewing new treatments and care

To ensure you get the highest quality care, we review the latest medical changes. This includes changes to:

 

  • Physical health treatment and services
  • Behavioral health treatment and services
  • Medicines
  • Equipment
  • Dental care

After reviewing the updated research, we decide if these changes:

 

  • Are safe and helpful
  • Offer the same or better results than our current practices

This helps us to decide whether to add new treatments or care to your benefits.
