Cost And Quality Of Care

Quality Improvement Program

 

We care about what you think regarding your healthcare services and the customer service you get. That’s why we’ve implemented a Quality Improvement (QI) program to track how we’re doing. When we know how we’re doing, it helps us improve the quality of your care. And that helps us serve you better.

Finding The Ways To Get You What You Need

 

Anthem is focused on high quality medical and behavioral healthcare. We review the services you get from Anthem doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare services. Each year, we test how we’re doing by using tools from outside groups of experts. 

 

One example is called the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®). We also use a survey that asks members how happy they are with their care, plan, and doctors. It’s called the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®).

 

In previous years, these tests have shown our impact, such as:

  • More children are receiving annual well-child visits. 
  • Children receiving timely immunizations are increasing. 
  • More members with diabetes received help to control their blood pressure and completed eye exams. 
  • More women received cervical cancer screenings. 
  • More members were able to have an appointment for checkups or routine visits as soon as needed. 
  • More doctors are discussing with their patients the reason for taking their medications. 
  • More providers are discussing tobacco usage with their patients.
