BlueCompareSM Evaluation on Physicians Is Underway
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) evaluates the performance of Blue Choice PPOSM network physicians in 22 measured specialties on Evidence-based Measures and Physician Cost Assessment as compared to peers in the same working specialty. Consistent with national guidelines, a cost-efficiency assessment is only performed if the specialty-specific, quality-related criteria are met.
This years’ evaluation is underway, and we will mail the affected physicians a letter with instructions for accessing their Performance Reports in a secure online portal (if applicable).
If you have any questions, please visit the BlueCompare for Physicians section on the Provider Training page. If you would like to speak to someone, please call your Provider Relations representative.
