The Physician Performance Insight (PPI) reports are coming soon! The Physician Efficiency, Appropriateness, and QualitySM (PEAQ) program evaluates physician performance in a transparent and multidimensional way. PPI reports show how physicians compare to peers and include information to improve future performance. Physicians that meet inclusion requirements are provided with PPI reports that show how they compare to peers. Beginning in 2024, members will be able to see a summary of the PEAQ results on Provider Finder®.
The PEAQ program measures a physician’s performance to achieve more optimal patient outcomes and efficient care delivery.
PEAQ Initiatives
- Physician Insights: Deliver actionable insights to our providers
- Employer Insights: Deliver insights to our clients that include physician performance metrics
- Member Steerage: Show highly summarized performance results in Provider Finder to guide members’ care decisions
“Top Performing Physician”
The PEAQ model derives a composite result that reports an overall look at the physician’s cost efficiency, medical appropriateness, and quality of care performance. The composite results are normalized for fair comparison across the peer population. The highest rated physicians based on the composite results will be designated as a Top Performing Physician in Provider Finder beginning in 2024. Summarized results will be displayed for the physician in their PPI report.
