Health Care Quality & Cost

Physicians & Medical Groups

Building an ongoing relationship with your personal physician can help ensure you get the right care, at the right time, and at the right place. Use these sites to help find a physician that fits your needs and to help you gauge the quality of your care:

  • NCQA Recognized Physician Directory: Find physicians recognized by the NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) for providing high-quality care in treating patients with diabetes and patients with heart/stroke conditions.
     
  • HealthGrades Physician Quality Report: Research physicians nationwide through HealthGrades, an independent health care quality company. Purchase physician comparison reports or reports on individual physicians, including their education and training, board certification, governmental disciplinary actions, and hospital admitting privileges.
     
  • CompareYourCare: Take a short quiz to see how care from your doctor compares to national treatment guidelines and get personalized feedback on how to improve your care.
