As we informed you in May, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) is consolidating the multiple patient care-gap reports we provide to our participating physicians and provider groups into one single report.
The new and improved July 2015 Provider Quality Report will be mailed to each practice in late July, along with detailed instructions on how to obtain the patient-level data and all future monthly reports via Blue eSM (please note that ONLY the July report will be mailed).
To see the full list of measures and detailed report information as it becomes available, please check out the “Provider Quality Reports” page on the www.bluecrossnc.com.
Here are some highlights of what you will see in the new Provider Quality Reports:
