Notes on Methodology

  • The annual reported rate captures activity during the previous calendar year.  For example, the 2017 rate captures services provided during calendar year 2016.
  • This is a Healthcare Effectiveness & Data Information Set (HEDIS) administrative measure.
  • Based on the advice of their External Quality Review Organization (EQRO), DVHA’s rates only include only Medicaid Primary beneficiaries in HEDIS administrative measures as of 2014.
  • The target trend line is the 50th percentile national benchmark for Medicaid programs.

Story Behind the Curve

This measure looks at the percentage of Vermont children with Medicaid who have had a visit with a primary care practitioner, like a pediatrician or family physician. This measure is an indicator as to whether there may be barriers to our younger beneficiaries accessing primary care.
