Are providers in BlueHPN measured individually or as part of a group?
Providers in BlueHPN are measured both individually and at an aggregate network level. Quality is evaluated across different settings of care — such as inpatient and outpatient services — and within each provider type, including primary care providers, specialists, hospitals, and health systems.
Measuring performance at the individual level helps identify opportunities for improvement and recognize higher‑value care. Measuring results in the aggregate allows us to understand how BlueHPN performs at the market level and compare that performance to the broader BlueCard PPO provider population.
