HPM recognizes 19 Michigan health care providers for outstanding quality, service

Detroit-based Health Plan of Michigan (HPM) has recognized 19 Michigan health care providers for their outstanding quality and service.

The 19 Michigan health care providers were identified as the top primary care offices through a rigorous selection process that was based on Health Plan of Michigan's 2009 quality incentive plan.  "We wanted to show our gratitude to our highest ranking health care providers for their excellence in quality and service," said Raymond D. Pitera, Vice President of Provider Service for Health Plan of Michigan. "We truly appreciate the access to quality services they provide to our Medicaid Members."

The 2009 Health Plan of Michigan Quality incentive program paid over $6 million to its contracted primary care providers and is on pace to spend over $8 million in 2010. Health Plan of Michigan hopes more providers will meet the performance criteria next year and will continue assisting all provider offices in increasing their quality scores.
