2019 HEDIS Audit Results

The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is the most widely used set of performance measures in the managed care industry. Developed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA®), HEDIS is part of a larger process that complements the NCQA accreditation program and establishes accountability in health care.

In areas of most concern to your patients, HEDIS helps compare how managed care plans perform.

HEDIS data are collected annually for members of Highmark’s various products. The HEDIS measures span many areas of care delivery and service: 

  • Effectiveness of care
  • Access/availability of care
  • Experience of care
  • Utilization and risk-adjusted utilization
  • Health plan descriptive information

Using this subset of HEDIS measures, the performance of services that Highmark members received in measurement year (MY) 2018 for the HEDIS reporting year (RY) 2019 is compared to the 2019 national averages. And for additional comparison, MY 2018 results are included.

You can review these results on the Provider Resource Center under EDUCATION/MANUALS > HEDIS >HEDIS Results.
