- This is a Healthcare Effectiveness & Data Information Set (HEDIS) administrative measure.

- 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.
