I watch all your videos in a healthcarez. Like your no nonsense style. Videos are always to the point and very informative, unlike lot of content on UA-cam which is promotional in nature. Keep up the good work of making these videos.
I have been following Dr. Eric Bricker for many years. He is informative, provides food for thought, and provides me with hours of follow research to know more! Thank you Dr. Bricker!
Being in this space for many years it may be difficult to ascertain a specific provider quality however many plans provide provider ratings within their directory which is derived by various HEDIS rates at the provider level. Also, although the plan does not manage HEDIS measures directly, they are instrumental in managing networks, providing doctors with non-compliant members and managing payment structures that incentivize provider reimbursement on quality outcomes.
Good overview, however one clarification NCQA does not assign Star Ratings - CMS does and CMS allows 5 Stars Plans to enroll year-round. NCQA is just the organization that provides the tools (i.e., HEDIS) to measure quality of care.
Great explanations. I am looking forward to get into ambulatory care administration. This information is helpful to understand better HEDIS scores. Thanks.
Thanks for your explanation. I'm a data analyst in healthcare, trying to make sense of the finance side of healthcare. What I'm wondering is, suppose a particular hospital on a plan was really poor on a number of measures. What are the consequences? Does the plan say "Hmm.. Hospital A is really bad at these measures, we're going to reimburse them less/drop them from the plan"? Does the hospital pay a lot of attention to HEDIS measures? Thanks!
Great question. For the most part… No. The onus is on the Medicare Advantage insurance plan to drop the bad hospital or physician practice from its network if it is dragging downs it’s HEDIS scores.
Can you make videos to help quality nurses that work along with these providers come up with strategies that can help them increase their star ratings? I’m struggling in this area it feels like I am running out of ideas
Effective? With the most expensive and worst maternal outcomes in the industrialized world, what has HEDIS accomplished? Measuring quality on claims vs clinical data further perpetuates fee for service reimbursement which is literally killing us. Plans and NCQA have little incentive to change the status quo. Employers and CMS/CMMI demand better. Eric look forward to future comments on the switch to measuring quality based on clinical vs claims data.
Starting my journey on being educated about health insurance. 26 yr old male, Appreciate you for what you do good sir!

Can you make videos about the Star measures, CAHPS and HOS surveys?
Great suggestions. Thank you!!

Very informative.
Super! Thank you Aditi!!
Great video as always Eric! is Hedis only in primary care or does every specialty have it ?
It evaluates health insurance plans including the primary care and specialist care that occurs for plan members. Thank you for your question.

Thank you for watching and for your suggestion.

Thank you for watching!!

Physician behavior has historically been changed through peer pressure… posting results by name across physician for all to see.
You did a damn good job!!!!
Thank you for your feedback.
I am preparring for a job interview that is about HEDIS and STAR any recommendations on other videos i can watch?
Unfortunately no.
Thanks for valuable information, just wanted to know what are job opportunities in US, I have 4 years of experience in HEDIS. Thanks in advance!
That I do not know. Appreciate you watching.
Thank you for posting this
Can you talk about the source of this data (ehr, claims, etc) and how it makes its way to ncqa for analysis
Great question. Claims.
Thank you for watching and for your question.
I learned a lot about claims and the insurance company doesn’t tell you
Excellent video thank you
Thank you for watching!!
Can you do another video on this?
Thank you for watching and for your question.
Thank you for this video!! I was trying to understand what this is am google was being too vague for me
Thank you for watching.
Can you do more about Medicare Star Ratings?
Thank you for your suggestion.
438 is actually too low. If you use the claims clearinghouse address / ID as the distinct representation of how many plans exist, you're over 10,000.
Hi Benjamin, Thank you for watching the video and weighing in.

Great point. Claims are not the way to go, IMO.
