What is the difference between individual and group assessment?
An individual physician applicant represents one licensed physician practicing in any setting who provides continuing care for BTE program eligible patients. A physician group applicant represents any group with three or more licensed physicians who, by formal arrangement, share responsibility for a common panel of patients and practice at the same site, defined as a physical location or street address. For purposes of this assessment process, groups of two physicians or less must apply as individual applicants. Minimum patient requirements differ for individual and group physicians (See What are the minimum patient requirements?). Additionally, all physicians participating in a group assessment will receive the same score, results and recognition level regardless of individual performance.
