PEAQ®
Physician Efficiency, Appropriateness and QualitySM is an evidence-based data and analytics program that measures a physician’s entire performance around three core areas: efficiency (cost), appropriateness and quality. PEAQ is a resource that helps members choose the care that is right for them – often for less. Integrated into many of our member decision support tools and tiered products, PEAQ taps into the nation’s largest health care dataset to assess physician performance based on efficiency, appropriateness, and quality of care.
BCBS Plans have the largest hospital and physician networks in the U.S., with 97% of all U.S. hospitals and 83% of physicians.
