What are you doing to expand health care information available to consumers?
BHCG believes information transparency is an important part of the foundation of the market-driven health care delivery system we are seeking to create in Southeastern Wisconsin. We have worked with Humana to offer health care cost and quality information and also support the efforts to make this type of information available to the public. Through our partnership with Humana, members using Humana Preferred (BHCG) will be able to access comparative information for participating providers on their effectiveness and pricing of 31 inpatient procedures based on contractual rates. In addition, six outpatient procedure pricing is available based on contractual rates. BHCG also is supportive of the Wisconsin Health Information Organization, a partnership of health insurers, hospitals, doctors and employers that plans to analyze millions of health insurance claims to find out which doctors and hospitals are the most efficient.
