For 23 years, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has used its annual Physician Group Honor Roll to acknowledge physician groups 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 56 physician groups in Harvard Pilgrim’s Commercial network named to our 23rd 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 18 measures, such as appropriate treatment for children with upper respiratory infection, diabetes care, and breast cancer screenings. Twenty 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 performance. You can view the complete list of this year’s recipients and learn more about Harvard Pilgrim’s methodology on the Physician Group Honor Roll page — which we’ve migrated from our Harvard Pilgrim provider website to the integrated Point32Health provider website as part of a larger initiative to centralize all the content our providers rely on for support in treating their Harvard Pilgrim and Tufts Health Plan patients.
