For 22 years, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has used its annual Physician Group Honor Roll to acknowledge physician groups in our commercial provider network for achieving exceptional results in their approach to disease prevention and the treatment of acute and chronic illness for both adult and pediatric patients.
As we’ve announced in previous communications, Point32Health is working to deliver a more unified product portfolio for our commercial markets business by migrating Tufts Health Plan commercial members and accounts to Harvard Pilgrim commercial products. As we progress through that work, we’re continuing the longstanding tradition of highlighting clinical excellence, and would like to congratulate the 53 physician groups in Harvard Pilgrim’s commercial network named to our 22nd annual Physician Group Honor Roll.
We selected the Honor Roll physician groups based on clinical performance measured against NCQA’s national HEDIS quality benchmarks in three domains of clinical care: acute, chronic, and preventive care. Physician groups were identified as Honor Roll practices based on performance on 15 measures, such as appropriate treatment for children with upper respiratory infection, comprehensive diabetes care, and breast cancer screenings. Sixteen practices achieved “With Distinction” status, meaning they exceeded NCQA’s national 90th percentile in these domains of clinical care.
Honor Roll physician groups are noted in Harvard Pilgrim’s Provider Directory, enabling members to evaluate and select providers based on quality and safety performance. You can view the complete list of this year’s recipients and learn more about Harvard Pilgrim’s methodology here.
