Provider Profiles

Published: October, 2001

PBH develops and distributes individual provider profiles for those providers that meet a threshold for members seen within a specified time period. A profile shows summary performance data for a provider for a specified time period. The Profile is divided into three sections. The first section, Outpatient Activity During the Report Period, provides descriptive information related to the specified provider's treatment of PBH members. The second section, Quality Indicators, shows provider-specific results on nine performance measures in comparison to PBH targets. These targets were set by PBH at a level that represents excellence in customer service based on PBH historical data and industry standards. The third section of the Profile, the Level of Care Summary, describes the extent to which PBH members treated by the provider also received higher levels of care. The Profile indicators are summarized below.
