TMA physician leaders and staff have worked for the past two years to win concessions from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) to make its physician-rating program fair to doctors and useful to patients.
Much of that effort has involved modifying the company's BlueCompare rating tool, which is based on BCBSTX claims data and includes "affordability" and evidence-based measures information about physicians in the BlueChoice® and BlueChoice Solutions networks. Blue Cross says it's intended only to provide information and help patients select a physician.
What if you don't agree with the rating Blue Cross gives you? Grin and bear it? No. Log on to the TMA Web site for an explanation of the rating system, an easy way to log your complaint, and information on what you can do if you don't like your rating.
