We’re sharing skilled nursing facilities’ performance reporting for Medicare Advantage members

In late June, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network began sharing skilled nursing facility performance data for Medicare Advantage members with providers in risk-based contracts. Information being shared includes member volumes at each facility and specific performance metrics.

This is part of an effort to foster increased collaboration between our health care providers in risk contracts and the skilled nursing facilities that provide services to their patients. “We hope this additional reporting will continue to help build relationships between skilled nursing facilities and the hospital providers sending patients to these facilities,” said Karolina Skrzypek, M.D., medical director with Provider Engagement.
