Regence believes that cost and quality
data is the kind of fundamental information members
need to inform their health care decision-making.
Regence has launched a series
of online tools designed to give our members information
about cost, quality and other dimensions that they
have identified as important. We have
launched the three features that are included below
to our member Web site, myRegence.com.
As part of this effort, Regence is committed to ensuring our community of more
than three million members to have access to:
- Reliable and relevant cost and price information
- Comprehensive quality information developed and
delivered through a community model
- An online environment where they can support, dialogue
and engage with other members
- Broad self-reporting by providers about their practice
philosophy, areas of specialty, recognition and achievements,
etc.
- The ability to share their experiences with provider
visits and to view survey results and comments posted
by other members
By providing useful quality and cost information to
our members, we are creating a culture where patients
learn to access and experience value in health care.
Physicians, other health care professionals and facilities
can also find and compare hospital quality information
in the My Advisor section of myRegence.com.

| Blue Physician Recognition (BPR) |
The BPR Program is designed to reinforce Blue Plans’ commitment to quality by providing more meaningful and consistent information on physician quality improvement and recognition on the Blue National Doctor & Hospital Finder. |
| Collaboratives |
Regence makes quality measures available
on a community basis by partnering with community
collaboratives. Community collaboratives are
organizations that bring data from broad sources
together to create quality performance measures
that can be used by all in the community. |
| Cost
Estimator |
Using the Treatment Cost Estimator,
members are able to access network average
cost for a range of treatment options and conditions
and view out-of-pocket expense estimates for
these same conditions and treatment options. In
addition, providers can now access out-of-pocket
expense estimates for members through Provider
Center. |
| Patient
Feedback |
The Member Review feature gives Regence
members the ability to provide feedback on their
experiences with the health care system. |
| Physician Quality Measurement (PQM) |
The goal of the PQM Program is to provide physician performance measurement information to Blue Plan members to raise their awareness of clinical quality measures used by providers across Blue Plans. |

physicians, dentists, other health care
professionals and facilities to enhance the information presented
in their individual profile pages on the myRegence.com Provider
Search tool. |
